Alternately, you could submit a patch. While you're welcome to post FreeBSD-related email of just about any nature, you're posting is not (generally) conducive to getting things done in the Open Source world. The following improvements will likely lead to better responses in the future. * ale@freebsd.org is listed as the maintainer for this port. By emailing ports@, you show that you haven't done any real research into the situation. It would be appropriate to email ale@ first to check on the status, and only email ports@ if ale@ doesn't respond. * You email comes across as rather demanding. While that may not have been your intent, that's how it reads. Demanding things of volunteers usually doesn't win you a lot of friends. Consider using phrases like, "is there any way I can help speed up the process" It's quite possible that ale@ is working on it, and having some testers would be helpful to him. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com
