Date for the port version should be 1983... not 1982, but is otherwise correct. -- Jeffrey H. Johnson CPE1704TKS@bellsouth.net Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->aaron Take. I apologize for the delayed response. Between the ports freeze and final exams, I have been overwhelmed. The ports you submitted are fine except for 2 issues: 1) We prefer unified diffs to context diffs (diff -ruN). Could you change your patch files accordingly? 2) More importantly, the Makefiles do not honour the host system's CFLAGS. Please make the minor adjustments necessary and then resubmit the updated shars. DO NOT OPEN A NEW PR! Simply replying to this email should be sufficient. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. -- Aaron Dalton aaron@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD Ports Committer State Changed From-To: open->feedback Ask for submitter fix. *ping* Need a hand? -- Aaron Dalton | Super Duper Games aaron@daltons.ca | http://superdupergames.org State Changed From-To: feedback->closed Maintainer timeout. Feel free to reply later to these PRs and I can re-open them. |
This is the big daddy of all magtape handling packages. I looked for a newer version, but wasn't able to find anything past this 1982 release. Many warnings can be easily eliminated -- this port is being sent to allow out of box compilation and provide a needed Y2K fix to the sources. It works correctly on my systems. This port will be useful to people using emulators, such as SIMH. -x- magtape - a magnetic tape handling package. On the shell level this package offers programs for: - getting a quick look at a tape, - making exact copies of tapes even if you have only one magtape unit, - extracting arbitrary portions from tapes and - the reading and writing of ANSI standard labelled tapes. These programs work equally well on real tapes and on tape images on disk. On the C-level it supplies routines for handling real tapes and tape images on disk as a unified concept (generalized magtape). If you happen to have a Control Data Cyber around, running SCOPE or NOS/BE, "NOSsplit", a program for reading Cyber SI-format tapes, and "NOStr" which converts from various Cyber character codes, is provided. -x- Generated with FreeBSD Port Tools 0.63
