Description saska 1999-12-04 08:20:00 UTC 
	In my original port submit I made the port display pkg/MESSAGE after
	install where the user was informed that he/she could install the port
	as setuid root to make things "easy". Considering the discussions
	of ports security lately and that this ports code is completely not
	audited, this should be removed.
	When the user runs the port and discovers normal user privileges
	are not sufficient for opening /dev/io, he/she has to decide for
	himself what the appropriate solution is (and take responsibility).

	This patch makes the ports install behave more appropriately.

	The patch also adds a new master site for better availablity.

Fix: 1. Please delete the file /ports/audio/mpmf20/pkg/MESSAGE from CVS.

	2. Apply the patch below.
	   (which is also available from
	             http://www.acc.umu.se/~saska/mpmf20.patch)
