As many of you are aware, an instance of portscout is available on http://portscout.freebsd.org/ For those of you who are unfamiliar with portscout, it is a tool which looks for new versions of software in the FreeBSD ports tree. Within the next week, we are planning on enabling portscout email notifications for all port maintainers. If you are currently a maintainer, and already know your preference about opting in or out of these updates, send a private email to zi@FreeBSD.org, and request that you are included or excluded. If you receive an alert for a given port, you will not receive another for that port until an even newer version is available. Multiple ports may be listed in a single notification. Thanks, -r Additional information: It is possible to control various aspects of portscouts behavior by setting the PORTSCOUT variable in your ports Makefile. Details can be found here: http://portscout.freebsd.org/info/portscout-portconfig.txt -- Ryan Steinmetz PGP: EF36 D45A 5CA9 28B1 A550 18CD A43C D111 7AD7 FAF2
