I've written a "few" utilities over the years that I've made available in various places, but it might make sense to put them in ports/sysutils. However, they were written on BSD and are therefore not ports. Should I submit them anyway (if I find time to clean them up, of course)? Or if not, any (polite) suggestions as to where I should put them? I don't use GitHub or SourceForge (too old to change my ways, and I normally work off-line anyway). e.g. http://www.fjl.co.uk/free-stuff ------ On a slightly different point, I needed something to rate-throttle a stream and before I wrote one I checked the ports tree for something called "throttle", thinking this a likely name, and found just what I was looking for - except it's been abandoned and removed. It was all of 15 minutes to write a new one, but does anyone know anything about the original? Thanks Frank.
