For all I care, it may as well be in your garage some place. There is ONE cvs-repository, and it is located at pcvs.FreeBSD.org:/home/pcvs This port was last updated in March -- two or three port-freezes ago. Life may be wonderful at marcuscom, but if something is not in the _FreeBSD_ Project's repo, it *does not exist*. (And, that, BTW, applies to the new firefox-beta port...) This obscurity is not simply detrimental to progress, it is disrespectful. For ever, a person wanting a change was encouraged to sit down and implement it her/himself. So why did I just waste 2 hours following this rule? I saw the ports/85966, worked up the fix, checked the vendor's site and figured, I'll update and fix it in one go. I then duly submit my work to the maintainer, and what do I get? "Yeah, we know, fook off?.." You may recall, that the src-part of the Project have already gone through this a few years ago -- certain developers were too comfortable with their Perforce branches and weren't sharing their work with others for months. It was justly deemed wrong... -mi
