X-BeenThere: freebsd-ports@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting software to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 23 May 2004 07:31:56 -0000 --rwEMma7ioTxnRzrJ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I'm currently working on making a port of PLP (http://plp.juerd.nl) and I have an optional, experimental patch that allows PLP to work with mod_perl 2.x via its compatibility interface. Due to the highly experimental nature of the patch, I don't want to include it as a standard patch and want it to be specified as optional. From my understanding of bsd.port.mk and from glancing at other ports (mutt-devel helped me a lot), it appears that such patches need to be retrieved from a remote site. I don't have the resources with which to host this patch, so does anyone volunteer to host it? Or is there some convenient port magic that I've missed that would allow me to store it in files/ (which makes more sense to me, anyway -- obviates the possibility of the patch going bye-bye when a server goes offline) ? Thanks to anyone in advance, whether you offer a home for my patch or a workaround.
