1. Update to xscrabble 2.12 2. Fix typo in pkg-descr and trim trailing blanks "You might be able to improve upon this" This port does something I don't like: it installs an empty, unwritable scrabble_scores file in a directory whose contents shouldn't be modified. Players then need to override the app-defaults by placing a XScrabble.scorefile: /path/to/scrabble_scores line in $HOME/.Xdefaults (or $HOME/.Xresources, whatever). Wouldn't it make more sense to create a new, empty, writable score file under /var/games (if it doesn't exist) upon package installation; make the app-defaults file reference that; on deinstall, remove /var/games/scrabble_scores if it is empty or print a message indicating this file needs to be deleted manually in order to remove all traces?
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->lwhsu I'll take it.
State Changed From-To: open->closed Committed, thanks!
