You betcha a lot of work. The average turn around time? Let me clear this dream for you. It's a volunteer based project, so whenever someone with enough rights feels like he or she has the time to test [very important] and commit those submissions. That said though, our funky crowd of ports committers generally get back on submissions within one or two weeks. >Also, I have noticed that at any one time there are 150 - 200 unassigned, >open "problems" listed for ports, a good number of which are just new or >update ports submissions. Is there anything else that someone like myself >could do to assist with all that work? Ehm, yes and no. =) Yes, you can test the patches, port submission, or whatever the PR details and mail you test results as a follouw-up to the PR. No, you cannot help, since you need CVS commit rights to be able to actually close the PR and commit everything needed. Hope this answers your question a bit, do feel free to read -ports and test, verify new submissions and let the committers know of any results, kind regards, -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai(at)wxs.nl The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project <http://home.wxs.nl/~asmodai>; Network/Security Specialist BSD: Technical excellence at its best I believe because it is Impossible...
