window manager made by David Hogan.
9wm is really nice for all day use (I mean, a large Emacs window
covering the whole screen and a terminal to use Lynx and browse the
web ;-)) provided that you do not have a large number of windows on
your screen. But in some occasions it is not the case (ie. you have
to telnet to 4-5 remote machines), which is painful with 9wm.
This need for virtual screens motivated this about 50 lines hack.
w9wm brings support for virtual screens (provided you use the second
button, aka middle button to select one virtual screen) as well as for
key bindings (to switch from one window to another).

Actually, the problem is that the ecasound port can optionally be compiled with
python so that you have another interface to the program. The python dependency
wasn't recorded in the makefile and the port was building the python bits by
default, so the process of installing or packaging failed a one point.
The fix is quite simple. And it features a couple of other enhancments.
First off, the current plist must be renamed "pkg-plist.py".
Second, a new plist must be made with the following diff on the original:
me:
The file pkg-plist contains only one revision,
so a repro copy of this file won't be needed.
I changed whitespaces to taps.

QE is a PE2-like editor program under U*nix.
p.s. Don't pursuade me putting this into editors/. If you don't have
a Chinese (big5) environment, you could only see 'funny characters.'

From the announce mail:
"The 3.23.35 mainly fixes a critical bug in 3.23.34 with ORDER BY. We
don't know how the ORDER BY bug slipped through our testing suite or
how fatal it's really is, but as we have got a couple of reports about
core dumps regarding this, we recommend 3.23.34 users to
upgrade as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience."
The State Threads is a small application library which provides a
foundation for writing fast and highly scalable Internet applications
(such as web servers, proxy servers, mail transfer agents, and so on) on
UNIX-like platforms. It combines the simplicity of the multithreaded
programming paradigm, in which one thread supports each simultaneous
connection, with the performance and scalability of an event-driven
state machine architecture. In other words, this library offers a
threading API for structuring an Internet application as a state
machine.
The State Threads library is a derivative of the Netscape Portable
Runtime library (NSPR).

myself (for the lack of children, whom I could've prohibited to
do it). Sorry.
Upgrade this port to:
. build against TCL-8.3 by default (controllable by TCL_VER)
. build with or without TK (controllable by NO_X)
. take over maintainership -- regretfully, Justin was
rather idle recently
. build the helpfiles once -- during the build stage --
not during the install stage
On a side note, I more and more resent the fact, that our TCL
8.3 is built with the -stubs. It just introduces more variables
without noticeable benefit. On FreeBSD shared libraries work
well...
I tested this with TCL-8.3 (with and without TK), and with
TCL-8.2 (without TK only). Please, test this more.
