Why don't we keep the nice ping feature for now, since it hasn't even seen the light of day and closer/faster downloads has been requested more than once. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
