Very true :-). However, if that's _really_ a problem for a maintainer (for= =20 example because of job-induced periods of ENOTIMEFORFREEBSD), MAINTAINER=20 should be (re)set to ports@freebsd.org - it doesn't stop anybody from carin= g=20 about a port and regularly submitting updates, but it will stop the "New=20 version iz out, can u update plz, thx!!!111!!" spam. =2D-=20 ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org --Boundary-02=_4qgYAeNk2s/MYKS Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBAYgq4Xhc68WspdLARAlrEAJ9Io7K9wtX21Seyp1lspZehgbdgrACfa0m9 NajRI4fjIk1+BUSKI1S5YtI= =OXM6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_4qgYAeNk2s/MYKS--
