Yesterday I tried installing a port and found that it was broken though not marked as such. The problems were simple -- simple enough that *I* got it working! -- and I emailed the listed port maintainer with what I have found. Now, I haven't heard back, but I am not jumping to conclusions because of the holidays. But out of curiosity, if the port is in fact orphaned, what happens? Who is the next person to contact? I have been using FreeBSD for a while but I really don't have a good grasp of the "big picture." I want to be a good citizen though. :) Comments? -- matt@wrongcrowd.com
