I would say, go ahead and send-pr the port (without the nVidia parts for now). If nobody else bites within two weeks of you sending it, share the number with me, and I'll give it a try. I am sure that, once in, there will be many aspects we'll get feedback on and further tweaks and improvements, but it seems this is relatively widely used and useful, so let's make it port of the ports collection and jointly take it from there. > - Can only be compiled in an i386 environment, but the resulting package is > *intended* for amd64 (although works fine in an i386 environment) > - If, somehow, there is a recursive calling of wine programs then > LD_(32_)LIBRARY_PATH and PATH will continue to grow with every iteration. > - The pkgng ports cannot be installed in an i386 environment as they are > labelled for amd64. My primary question at this point, and to this group, is how to actually name such a port? It probably makes sense to focus on wine-devel, initially, but given that it's really the 32-bit version that is intended for the 64-bit OS, how to best reflect that? wine-devel-fbsd64 as per the current name? wine-devel-32on64?...??
