OK. I've never used gnats myself, probably should. We need to have something in the FreeBSD www site, that explicitly gives those instructions, for when you introduce a new port. I think it's a great idea to do this, so I can just take a look at the gnats list for ports that need to be done. I've tried just saving the mails of new ports, and it's so busy, it's crazy. I'd never keep it straight. > > Satoshi > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
