Dear Brad, I pointed out that I am an end user, so that I never could pretend
to write an effective documentation.
However, I enjoyed some very fine pieces of soft from macports, e.g. g95, with
its precious but simple control of warnings. I need not gnome neither kde, but
I would like experiment with them. If we consider macosX, really only a little
of all sofware coming with it is useful and used by an user, that in turn knows
little of inner mechanism of osX. I have some difficulty to understand why, if
one seeks for an alternative os, that os is awkwardly difficult to invoke.
Another disappointment there is when one is bound to make some cleaning after
the use of a ported software, that may alter defaults, how in particular often
happens when the software uses Xwindow. Porting to me means not only that the
software works either as an app of osX or by one (1) command by terminal, but
also that is a noninvasive host, able to quietly disappear when it is requested
no more. In conclusion, I think that one should say 'well, I ported this soft '
only when the above requirements are satisfie
d.
Best regards,
Paolo Denti
