You mean other than a shortage of volunteers with respect to the number of incoming PRs per day (about 40 for all parts of FreeBSD) and an existing backlog of 187 other new-port PRs? :-/ I appreciate your frustration, but this post doesn't really help any of us volunteers feel like the work we do is sufficiently appreciated. Since no one (AFAIK) gets paid to work on ports, this is really all we have to go on to keep us motivated (other than that "good warm feeling of a job well done".) Please keep in mind that there are many of us who would rather see the ports PR count at 0 rather than 933, but right now as a group, we're only able to close them just about as fast as they come in. mcl
