freebsd-ports/astro/xearth/pkg-descr

Xearth sets the X root window to an image of the Earth, as
seen from your favorite vantage point in space,  correctly
shaded  for  the  current position of the Sun. By default,
xearth updates the displayed image every five minutes. The
time between updates can be changed with the -wait option.
Xearth  can  also  render  directly into PPM and GIF files
instead of drawing in the root window.

There are four addition marker file installed in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xearth which specify the locations of
various FreeBSD people and places:

freebsd.core.markers - members of the FreeBSD core team
freebsd.committers.markers - FreeBSD committers (non-core)
freebsd.core_and_committers.markers - core plus committers
freebsd.ftp.markers - FreeBSD FTP mirrors

Added "-freebsd" option, which will display important FreeBSD sites (which include prominent mirror sites, FreeBSD machines and notable FreeBSD people). The stuff are in files/freebsd.h so people please add more! 1995-02-14 13:31:00 +01:00
Put jdp's entry in the proper place. Scoot asami's entry's name over to be able to fit with similarly located people. Create a new file: freebsd.core_and_committers.markers. I separated the two more, so now I'm recombining them :) This file is generated upon installation from the freebsd.{core,committers}.markers files, so it's a nice set-up now, I think! Change pkg/DESCR to reflect what the marker files are now (overhaul the last paragraph completely). 2000-07-13 10:13:10 +02:00			`There are four addition marker file installed in`
