* I have built a package for interviews 3.1 with shared and static libs. * It depends mainly on a set of patches, that have been posted recently to * comp.windows.interviews. * * I have also another package, that is a little x-based process-monitor written * by myself. There is already a port of interviews in ports/x11/iv but it's seriously broken so you're very welcome to contribute a working version. The way we do the ports are a little different from the past, the actual source is kept (or ftp'd on the fly) as a tarball and we only have a few files in /usr/ports/<category>/<port>. The packages available on ftp.freebsd.org are compiled from these ports. Please take a look at some of the existing packages and see if you can make something of that form. Since you say you actually build the packages so you presumably already have the packing list and one-line descriptions, so all you need to do is to write a Makefile, make sure the patches are in the correct form, and write some auxiliary scripts (only if necessary). I'll be more than happy to assist you along the way. Satoshi (the current ports administrator)
