freebsd-ports/astro/xearth/pkg-descr

Xearth sets the X root window to an image of the Earth, as
seen from your favorite vantage point in space,  correctly
shaded  for  the  current position of the Sun. By default,
xearth updates the displayed image every five minutes. The
time between updates can be changed with the -wait option.
Xearth  can  also  render  directly into PPM and GIF files
instead of drawing in the root window.

There are additional files called freebsd.{core,ftp}.markers
which give the location of FreeBSD core team members and FTP
sites.  These are installed in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xearth.

Added "-freebsd" option, which will display important FreeBSD sites (which include prominent mirror sites, FreeBSD machines and notable FreeBSD people). The stuff are in files/freebsd.h so people please add more! 1995-02-14 12:31:00 +00:00
Split freebsd.markers to freebsd.core.markers (core team members) and freebsd.ftp.markers (ftp sites). The latter file is quite incomplete, I'd like to at least have one for each country (preferably all of ftp.*.freebsd.org's) in there. Many entries are commented out because I either couldn't find out where the site is or I couldn't find the name of the city on my map. ;) 1996-03-29 05:28:27 +00:00			`There are additional files called freebsd.{core,ftp}.markers`
