<item> Fix it yourself. Technical details on how ports work can be found in
<ref id="porting" name="Porting applications.">
<item> Gripe. This is done by e-mail *ONLY*! The people at Walnut Creek are
in no way responsible for the functionality (or lack thereof) of the
FreeBSD system as a whole, and especially the ports system, which
is mainly contributed by 3rd parties. (If you do not believe me, check
the catalogue, especially the line saying "We cannot offer tech-support
on this product")
The e-mail address is the &a.ports;. Please include
details of the port, where you got both the port source &amp;
distfile(s) from, and what the error was.
Note: At time of writing, lang/Sather does not seem to work on Pentium
machines due to the Intel Curse (aka the Floating Point Division Bug).
Please do not tell us about this - gripe to Intel instead - it is their
bug!
<item> Gripe. This is done by e-mail *ONLY*! Send such e-mail to the &a.ports;
and please include the name/version of the port, where you got both the port
source &amp; distfile(s) from, and what the text of the error was.
<item> Forget it. This is the easiest for most - very few of the programs in
ports can be classified as `essential'!
