I've been over to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/graphics/pngwriter/ And I had a look at the package. I'm afraid that this is a bit outside of my domain (since, as I mentioned and Roman noticed) I am not a FreeBSD user, and also have zero package creation experience. I have been considering recruiting a package manager on the SourceForge 'Help Wanted' system: https://sourceforge.net/people/?category_id=10 but I'd like to check here first to see if there is anyone interested. Paul PS: Please continue to CC me, as I am not on the list. I have not CC'd Roman as per email footer request.
