Following a shar(1) generated file is in place for that. But: % shar `find inventor` zsh: argument list too long: shar The port got quite large, though: % du -sk inventor 34376 inventor How else can I submit the port? Roland P.S. I am currently not subscribed to -ports and would therefore appreciate a Cc on followups. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
