Uhm... I have send :-) 9616 abs (committed) 9672 xtail 9719 fortuneit 9836 delay 9923 10096 xtet 10104 pmars-0.8 10177 upgrade p5-mail-tools 1.12 10181 upgrade GIFGraph 1.10 But now I am not speaking for mine ports or for myself, I am doing a general discussion point. I think that everyone agree that if we lower the latency of a ports before committing we reach a better efficency point ... :-) I understand that we cannot make our ports tree a jungle of not working ports trying to accelerate the committing time, but when a port is tested is not usefull to anyone to leave it become unusefull in the limbo ... It is not an unusual thing for me to install the pr-ports I see in gnats area, because they are newer than those in the ports tree... It was so for postgreSQL, windowmaker and a lot of other... If you see the open Pr list you can understand what I am talking about ... Perhaps this situation don't boost or motivate people to send-pr of ports they have made for themselves, too... Thanks for your attention and for your time ...
