As a personal example, just as I had a chunk of time to commit to my ports list, there was a freeze. When the freeze lifted, I found myself in the middle of final exams and papers. Add to that the fact that new committers have their submissions reviewed by mentors who also have very busy lives, it really can take months to get a port processed. If your port has been "taken", feel free to email the responsible committer. Personally, even if I don't always have time to review ports, I can certainly send a quick reply to an email. If your port is still languishing in limbo, it's not alone. New committers *have* been added of late and hopefully that will help. My 2cents :) Cheers! -- Aaron Dalton aaron@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD Ports Committer
