Just to avoid | having to skim through commit logs. Well, ports-announce@ should exist, but it's a bit like ports-commiters@ people will always complain that they've never seen the email, and have not been told in person... The changes I did were just garbage collecting old things, getting bits up-to-date with what the current policies have been for quite some time, things like that. -- Mathieu Arnold
