The ball has been back in my court since Michael sent me his update for 4.01. I've some other updates to commit this weekend, and I'll resume the test builds for this and the associated PRs on Sunday. (Hopefully some of the blockers from last time have now been fixed.) > [1] http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/173364 > > BTW I am very comfortable with BSD Make but I am not aware of any list > of problem reports or developments in the project or ports build system. > Where could I start? On open PRs in the database you cite above (it is searchable), or unsolved failures on the mailing lists (e.g. freebsd-ports or freebsd-pkg-fallout) that interest or affect you. Some recent goals or changes are mentioned on wiki.FreebSD.org (although this contains some outdated material as well). Some of unfinished short-term objectives include converting ports to support staging and to compile with clang on FreeBSD 10, and updating the Porter's handbook. b. _______________________________________________ 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"
