X-BeenThere: freebsd-ports@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting software to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 05 Mar 2006 22:21:37 -0000 Hi! I've successfully ported some software products, but now I doubt if I should actually submit these ports, because these programs are in alpha state. They are usable, yes, but as it may be expected from alphas they are quite buggy, and some functions don't work. So I wanted to ask for opinions - are such ports welcome or should I better wait for more mature releases? -- Best regards, Dmitry mailto:amdmi3@mail.ru
