Normally there is not much discussion about issues in MacPort, so I hope they can live in this ML for now.

Do we have a bug-number(s) for > the corresponding problem(s)? I have used the NS port for more than one year if I remember correctly. During that time there was little response to any bug report in the NS port so I moved on. Things might have changed given all these years so I have little idea what it is like these days. In the two years that I have been using MacPort, I have reported via private emails to its author a dozen bugs, all of which were fixed within a day or two with detailed explanation of what was going on. I highly appreciate such a quality support and feel safer and happier using MacPort. Having said that, I encourage new comers to use NS port whenever/wherever I can. Leo
