Is anybody working on the port? A week or two > ago I asked on freebsd-eclipse@ but no response. generally speaking, ports@ group can help with minor things, and I have found that sometimes the more complex, the bigger challenge, the more help you will get. rarely, if ever have I found it necessary to hire someone to do the actual porting for me, but if its a business case, and worth it, you might mention it in ports@ (no, i am not offering..) . But you might consider it. (FreeBSD never needed to set up a 'bounty' system for people wanting to help pay for a port, have they? I have seen this done on other open source projects, mostly to add features and re-arrange priorities, based on ca$h used as a voting system ) -- Michael Scheidell, CTO >*| * SECNAP Network Security Corporation d: +1.561.948.2259 w: http://people.freebsd.org/~scheidell
