Hi Mathias, Positives: - Brings us closer to user-expectation parity - More user choice & additional feature support - You have put your hand up to contribute & maintain it (awesome!) On naming: - -devel may sound/seem like its more official than it is. What is the package name in other OS's and how is it maintained? Do they have 'one' ctags that just adds & rolls up the patches or two? Also, are there any downsides to this patch set from a user or POLA point of view? The answer this may help you determine what course of action to take Koobs _______________________________________________ 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"
