Then you should have put the PR into 'suspended' and/or somehow indicated that you were working on an alternative solution to the problem. portmgr has been fairly lax with the 2-week and 3-month timeouts but IMHO this is also part of the reason we have several hundred PRs that just sit in GNATS forever. I have slowly been working through the backlog and intend to do more. We do have a number of maintainers who ignore certain of their ports while staying active in other areas and there is no external way of telling the difference between 'I have objections to this change' and 'I am ignoring this change' other than email or GNATS. The bottom line is that if people want to flag changes like this they are well advised to use 'suspended'. mcl _______________________________________________ cvs-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
