This brings up the issue of wether a porter needs to have access to all the arches supported in order to submit something. That it fails on the alpha isn't good, but should that preclue its inclusion? if it were in the ports tree and someone with an alpha that wanted to use it found it didn't work, they could work on it as well. This is a useful port right now. It could stand to be improved by getting it to work on other arches , but should (i386, amd64) be deprived of it? --STeve Andre'
