As our mailing= =20 list is bitchy with attachments I put it to:=20 http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/hatchet-port.tar.gz as well.=20 There are some things to note: 1) There is no port of DBD::Chart yet. This has to be resolved and a=20 dependency should be added. 2) I haven't tried it (as I don't have a box where I can without too much= =20 disruption of pending work). 3) The Makefile is nicked from mail/squirrelmail partly, one might want t= o=20 acknowledge that when she/he submits it. So, if anyone is willing to maintain this (I suggest that you do it=20 yourself, Jason) you should take the following steps: 1) Create DBD::Chart port (this is very straightforward and you can look=20 at any of the several p5-XXX ports in databases). 2) Add a dependency for this port to the Makefile. 3) Test!!! ('though I believe the most issues are taken care of already). http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/portin= g-testing.html 4) Put your email to the MAINTAINER line (keep the #Whom: please) 5) Submit http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/portin= g-submitting.html And a general note/request: Can you please break the lines in Docs? These one-long-line things are a=20 hell to read!
