the original author's code. I would like to personally thank Wayne for
diligently tracking down the timezone conflict in his code. His fork,
which has more bugfixes (including the fact it actually gets the correct
ebay time) than the sourceforge version, now compiles on FreeBSD.
Special thanks to: Wayne Schlitt <wayne@midwestcs.com>
Changes include:
1) Original author no longer had time to work on bidwatcher. So
someone else took up the code and put it on sourceforge.
2) Bandwidth load taken off people.FreeBSD.org now that we can
get the distfiles off sourceforge instead.
3) Fix URI fennerism.
Note: I'm aware of another bidwatcher fork, particularly the one by Wayne
Schlitt (www.midwestcs.com/bidwatcher), which is at version 1.1.4; however
I've decided to go with the sourceforge version since it actually does
compile on FreeBSD (Wayne's version has some sort of Linux-specific
timezone code, or at least it conflicts with our timezone() function).
I can just hear the eBay freaks cheering this commit on..
BidWatcher is a tool for people using the giant eBay auction site. It
uses your eBay id and password to track your eBay listings, items that you
have bid on, and items that you enter by hand. It also has an integrated
snipe tool.
