Joe! 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...
