A: Leave normal individual ports work to other ports maintainers. & ... Q: How will other ports maintainers cope too ? A: Reduce ports/ send-pr flow rate. Add this to send-pr: --- Do not use send-pr for problems in 3rd party software please. For bugs & fixes with generic 3rd party code (from distfiles/), contact (from ports/.../.../Makefile ): GENERIC_MAINTAINER="URL://....." For FreeBSD specific bugs, try to fix first, if fixed use send-pr, For FreeBSD specific bugs you can't fix, contact MAINTAINER= If the port has a problematic run time behaviour, ask to assert: INSTALL_DEPRECATED="summary ... suspended send-pr number" --- No sense FreeBSD accepting more send-pr than we can handle, (else it could pressurise us to dump a port in desperation to reduce send-prs, for lack of an interim INSTALL_DEPRECATED mechanism, per: Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2011 02:57:17 +0200 Cc: ports@freebsd.org Message-id: <201108180057.p7I0vH1B070035@fire.js.berklix.net> Subject: Re: sysutils/diskcheckd needs fixing and a maintainer http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2011-August/069288.html If we reduce the rate of ports/ send-prs, ports experts will have more time to step back from the coal face, to study & import more good ideas, whether from FreeBSD people, other BSD or Linux etc. Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultants Munich http://berklix.com Reply below, not above; Indent with "> "; Cumulative like a play script.
