 I feel sorry that my submissions have made a trouble.
 I apology for it, and I did not mean to increase the amount of work.
 It was my first experience to submit packages, and I probably did not
 know the best way to do it.
 
 Actually, the reason why I used send-pr to submit some packages was
 simply because the official document said to do so.
 I went through "The pkgsrc guide", and in chapter 23 I found the way
 to submit packages is to use send-pr.
 Now, I find a sentence about pkgsrc-wip at the end of the section
 23.2, but it says the use of pkgsrc-wip is an "alternative" way.
 My impression is that the document is somehow misleading.
 
 I also would like to mention that Thomas and Makoto gave me
 suggestions to use pkgsrc-wip.
 Thomas kindly made an account for pkgsrc-wip for me, and Makoto is
 kindly checking what I submitted.
