I first tried to reach him in March 2011. I wrote him emails in 16 different threads (one to several emails per thread) and never received any single response from him. Not even a single sign of life. I guess that other developers who have been following development longer must know more. I believe the patches are way beyond the 72 hours of "maintainer timeout" limit, so they should be legally safe to commit ;). There has been no single response to http://trac.macports.org/ticket/34346 for approximately four months. I was actually thinking of filing a port abandonment ticket for AquaTerm eventually. > Also, I see that your commits were pulled in, does that mean that the patches > to AquaTerm are now obsolete? Which commits do you have in mind? Any patches under "files" can go if that is what you are asking. Thanks a lot for taking the time to look at all the patches, Mojca (un)related: I'm fighting with another issue which I believe must be some PackageMaker's bug. If someone would install AquaTerm with MacPorts first and then with an official installer, the installed AquaTerm.app would end up overwriting /Applications/MacPorts/AquaTerm.app instead of being placed under /Applications/AquaTerm.app. Here's an exact description from 2007: http://lists.apple.com/archives/installer-dev/2007/Dec/msg00040.html _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
