Hi, two tips. 1. Your subject does not reflect the content of your mail. It might not attract the right people to read it. 2. See http://www.freshports.org/contact.php and contact the site owner or use the Forums link there. In my experience Dan Langille is quite responsive. NB: I also like this changelog site: http://www.secnetix.de/olli/FreeBSD/svnews/ Regards, Ronald.
