Yes, there is some news (even if its a bit old).

I was waiting for 6.0-R to be frozen (not motivated to rush this in before the freeze) and release, before doing the finishing touches.

My idea was to repo-copy pwlib, openh323 and gnomemeeting to versioned ports. And then let the maintainers of the other ports that need pwlib/openh323 decide what pwlib/openh323 version they want. When there are no users left we can delete the old ones. > The last release of OpenH323 (1.15.6) includes fixes specifically for BSD.

You won't belive it but I poked the in development stuff before. I still got that stuff lying around, I hope. But that is after the current stuff is added. > -steve Koop
