Re: pkg/29984 (net/xorp needs to be updated to XORP Release 1.1)

[Pavlin Radoslavov <pavlin%icir.org@localhost>]

The problem is fixed in XORP CVS for XORP-current (see
http://www.xorp.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=466 for details).

FYI, hopefully within a month or so we are planning to release
XORP-1.2 which would contain the NetBSD-3.0 fix.
Hence I am fine if you don't upgrade net/xorp to match XORP-1.1 but
wait instead for XORP-1.2.
Though, please give me some more specific contact address I can use
for faster updates of net/xorp that I can use for the XORP-1.2
update (and future XORP releases) rather than waiting for another 9
months if I go again via the gnats database.
