Frankly, I wasn't impressed with the few hacks that use the extrusion library, and defintely wasn't impressed enough to add the dependency. This port already has a lot of them, and I didn't think the cost::benefit was high enough. However, now that someone has actually ported libgle, it's worth another look I suppose. > I'm not positive if the current pkg-plist is correct, either.

Well, instead of casting aspersions and including a huge patch in your PR you should have taken the time to look at the current plist and realize that it's sorted, as the handbook recommends. :) >>>>> "Doug" == Doug Barton <DougB@DougBarton.net> writes: Doug> dgilbert@velocet.ca wrote: >> Some time ago, I added the GLE port to the tree with the intention >> that I'd ask for it to be included here.

I'd be willing to maintain xscreensaver, too ... since I usally track it very closely anyways... but I don't want to step on anyone's feet, either. >> I'm not positive if the current pkg-plist is correct, either.

Note that I did couch my language with "I'm not sure that" .... :). The number of gle-hacks is growing. The future potential is cool, too.
