I agree that this is a real problem. The trouble, though, is that committers have to build and check PLISTs and the sanity and basically spend as much time on the port as the submitter. Different committers have different styles (I'm anal), but the only sure way to check ports is to test/try them yourself, and that takes time. - bill fumerola - billf@chc-chimes.com - BF1560 - computer horizons corp - - ph:(800) 252-2421 - bfumerol@computerhorizons.com - billf@FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
