You know, this reply of yours was quite inconsiderate.
I've spent a good part of 2003 maintaining a patch for all ports in
the pear virtual category before it got commited; several months of
keeping up with other changes to the tree, and it took a few months
before Edwin finally got around to commiting it.
I have contributed significant functionality to devel/subversion,
I have fixed/updated 160 unfetchable/unbuildable ports across the
tree within a month.
I have written most of the search target in ports.
And I have had a good time doing it all.
I don't believe that's bullshit. Do you?
