I was wondering what the preferred method of requesting users take a peek at it and tell me what they think/want. The actual software would go under ports-mgmt, and has the main functionality intended. The actuall set of programs is called 'virtual ports', and it allows a keyword and virtual directory indexing of the ports tree. The goal is to allow people to play around with different designs of the ports tree without having to change the system ports tree - preventing breakage in programs, and giving both the users and maintainers of the ports tree more flexibility in organization. Should I post the tbz file on my web server, and post a link on a mailing list, or post the copied/pasted shar to the mailing list (466kb, so I'm guessing /no/ to that one). Should I post here or to -ports? Thanks, -Jim Stapleton
