Hello doc'ers, Before going and making a change to the Wiki, I was wondering whether or not folks would be receptive to adding a "meta-page" to track ports updates for larger / fairly dependent packages, such as Perl, Python, KDE, Gnome, X.org, etc for purposes of reducing long email threads with little benefit, like the following: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2008-July/049609.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2008-July/049616.html (Both are from the same mail thread, but just were filed differently in mailman). The issue is that sometimes ports progress can go 'unpublicized' for some time and people aren't aware of why port(s) x-y-z hasn't/haven't been updated yet, even though it's/they have been 'stable' (in this case Perl) for months. Thanks, -Garrett
