Hello,
I'm going to be removing bdes (and possibly enigma) from FreeBSD and
making a port of it...
What is the best way to do this?
Should I fetch this from git/svn? Make a new archive of this? But if
I create a new archive, how to distribut it (keeping it in my home dir
is not an option, as I don't plan on maintaining it)?
Is there an example of other code that was retired to the ports tree?
Thanks.
