Please check on: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-submitting.html and ignore the part about tarballing and uuencoding it. Basically, shar `find ./portname` > yourport.shar ; send-pr -a ./yourport.shar What you submitted isn't incorrect or invalid. But, with my limited FreeBSD time, I personally tend to ignore PRs where I can't read the content, and I know I'm not the only one. # Adam -- Adam Weinberger adam@vectors.cx // adamw@FreeBSD.org // adamw@magnesium.net http://www.vectors.cx
