That's fine. I package a lot of things, and sometimes I find that what is actually released has non-obvious issues compared to what's in the repo. But because viking uses autoconf/automake, and me typing make dist should get pretty much what you get, there's no real issue. I did build and test from git. This was uneventful. My notes: I noticed that left-click to zoom left the map point under the cursor still under the cursor instead of moving it to the middle. Arguably more intuitive, but surprising after learning the old way, so should be in NEWS. The NetBSD nan patch is integrated; thanks again (I'm sure I sent this in a long time ago :-). Needs NEWS. make distcheck fails because it doesn't carry the CPPFLAGS from the invocation of configure. (Not sure if that's legimately a bug, and I don't expect any of you to fix it, but thought I'd mention it.) Building the tarball with pkgsrc gives me: => Bootstrap dependency digest>=20010302: found digest-20111104 ===> Building for viking-1.4.0 Making all in src gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/n0/ANONCVS/pkgsrc/geography/viking/work/viking-1.4.0/src' gmake[1]: *** No rule to make target `../help/C/viking.xml', needed by `documenters.h'.

I'll try to figure this out, but wanted to send a report.
