(except, of course, that I do follow this mailing list. I'm just saying that someone who isn't following this mailing list might be very surprised if portupgrade were suddenly dropped). Part of me would like to try my hand at fixing whatever the problems are, but I am swamped at work and am very likely to continue to be swapped because the college where I work is very keen on not hiring any more people right now. Maybe I can find some time, but if someone else has the time then certainly they should take the lead. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
