Most ports PRs are dealt with=20 considerably faster than that, although the initial import of a new port does take longer than a routine update to an existing port. One important general point is that any one sending in PRs should supply a working e-mail address in what they send -- if a port maintainer needs to ask a question or for some other form of feedback, and their e-mail to= the PR originator bounces, then that PR is simply not going to get processed. =20 Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW --------------enigED64B7C5013DE4B81B3B7DDA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.8 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEAREIAAYFAkgATq4ACgkQ8Mjk52CukIxJjACfYvjQnZ2ztmz6TP1IuMwcaMnB AVsAnjPCvgjjq2d4metC93wM7Vyp+ZEI =W//q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigED64B7C5013DE4B81B3B7DDA--
