Take a look at the PR submission and update dates in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=137046 (the port I maintain). Doesn't it seem excessive to you, for an update as simple as that? Wouldn't it be better for everybody if more people could commit the changes in their ports themselves? (Subject to a commit-privilege revocation on a substantial breakage anyplace). How could I, for example, turn from a volunteer to a committer? Take also a look at the history of an attempt to volunteer elsewhere in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=136263. Something doesn't feel right about the way ports are handled in FreeBSD these days. Of course, the easiest is to dismiss the voices of discontent. -- Alex -- alex-goncha...@comcast.net -- _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
