I intend to create a new physical category according to the instructions in the Committer's Handbook ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/article.html#idp65956656) where our organization's Ports will be included. This is my first foray into Ports beyond just installing what is available. So, just looking for some feedback from others doing similar. Is there someone that can provide a few pointers in putting together and managing such a system? -- Take care Rick Miller
