I dunno if that term is used anymore, but I need to find out if one person is in charge of ports, or if it's a group of folks, and whichever it is, what their name(s) are? In case you're curious (nosy, aren't you?) I need to ask questions about the official attitude with regards to the install hierarchy to be followed for Linux applications. I need more than just opinions, else I'd just ask here, but I need to know, officially, what it is. IF I can get it nailed down, and if it ends up the way I would like it, I will go ahead and invest all the time it takes, to fix every port I see that I think is broken, but I won't start doing this until I get official word on RIGHT WAY. Oh, BTW, I don't intend sneaking anything in, but I am not going to do the work unless I find out if the work (if it does like I ask) would be accepted. Darn, I can see 6 different ways to misinterpret that. Ah, heck, it'll be easier to reply to all the accusations, than try to explain it all up front. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHaxigz62J6PPcoOkRAltuAJ0c14uXXocEzIX3zwXY6VUc+EI9fACfWMcT QHXnAixnorYljynmcdO4AAk= =Icxf -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
