Yep, that was it (See below). > Just trying to clarify the situation. It's good to see that there are > volunteers ready to take over once you're done Indeed, thanks to everyone. I would like to pass on maintainership of all my ports, most ports I maintain are X11 based and I don't really use FreeBSD with X11 anymore nowadays (Due to crappy Xorg ``releases'' if you can call 'em that, OpenBSD works much better for me ATM). However, I don't want to pass maintainership *right now*, for example, I have spent quite some time a few months ago improving the audio/csound port, and this afternoon I spent some time making final adjustments and some (hopefully useful) instructions for the new maintainer. I guess all of this can also be done after maintainership is passed, but my idea was that people would call out that they were willing to maintain a port, that I would make final adjustments (if any), and then submit a PR with the adjustments and maintainer change. Sorry if I wasn't too clear, I just assumed this must be standard procedure ... Regards, Martin
