I'm not the maintainer of the port. I just offerred space on my server
and was unaware of these issues until now. There is no need to wonder
any more . . . I didn't read that material. I've never maintained a port
and didn't think that I was now. I was just trying to help the one who
is.

I'll get to reading that material as soon as I can.
