Agreed. I will also contribute deleted working ports. > I'm currently looking into > what's the best way to go about setting up such a supplementary tree. To prevent ports deleters further disruption, I created http://mailman.berklix.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports & cc'd "FreeBSD Ports Resuscitation" I can offer a FreeBSD server, space for freebsd.org + supplmentary SVN trees, + ftp & http (as used for http://ctm.berklix.org ) . Initially non SVN'd last working copies would be something. We'd next want SVN to maintain it. SVN is already installed on server, I would need to add http support for SVN (suggestions welcome). Hopefully others would volunteer for SVN admin & port meta data recovery. Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Linux Unix Sys Eng Consultant Munich Reply below, Prefix '> '.
