Description Jeremy Messenger 2003-11-14 08:40:18 UTC
Straw port is back!

Straw is a desktop news aggregator for the GNOME environment. Its aim is to be a
faster, easier and more accessible way to read news and blogs than the
traditional browser.

Yep, it has finally work on FreeBSD. There have two different lookup options,
one depend on ADNS and other its own lookup function.

Fix: Some feedbacks are what I would like to see:

	- I am not sure which it fits in either news
	  or net category. The Liferea is in the net
	  category, so I am guessing it's more like
	  in the net category.
	- Can anyone check on the RUN_DEPENDS of
	  py-bsddb and py-bsddb3. I hope, it's fine.
	- It would be nice if anyone can clean the
	  grammar in the pkg-message if it needs.

Thanks!

I think this port (and lifearea) belong in news.  Perhaps it should be: 

news net gnome 

Any objection?

I have been thinking about that and I agree it should be belong to news. 
news/straw with 'news net gnome' look good. Thanks!
