,--- You/Doug (Tue, 04 Aug 2009 08:26:08 -0700) ----* | > - increase the number of volunteers/committers/testers... | This is the only valid answer for FreeBSD. `---------------------------------------------------* Take a look at the PR submission and update dates in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=137046 (the port I maintain). Doesn't it seem excessive to you, for an update as simple as that? Wouldn't it be better for everybody if more people could commit the changes in their ports themselves? (Subject to a commit-privilege revocation on a substantial breakage anyplace). How could I, for example, turn from a volunteer to a committer? Take also a look at the history of an attempt to volunteer elsewhere in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=136263. Something doesn't feel right about the way ports are handled in FreeBSD these days. Of course, the easiest is to dismiss the voices of discontent. -- Alex -- alex-goncharov@comcast.net --
