Re: MacPorts GNUstep

[Ivan Vučica]

Hi!

Thanks for the fixes! I did not need the .patch-es for some reason, but 
nonetheless, they look important.

I've copied the files locally, and if I go and put up a repo somewhere these 
will be included. Now if only I could figure out if there's a way to set up a 
purely HTTP portfile repo, without rsync...
