Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.79 Sender: owner-ports@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've got an idea..... (it happens sometimes you know ;) Since really getting into FBSD I've been trying to keep an eye on what going on by reading through my 'cvs commit' mail everyday. Every now and again I notice that this port or other has changed (thanks for getting the Msql stuff done so quick, whoever's responsible! ;) and making a mental note to upgrade it on the system. It's just occured to me that it would be an absolutely great idea if there was a mechanism that people could use to be kept informed about bits of code being upgraded. Imagine that I subscribe to the mechanism for 'databases/Msql'. I would then automatically be informed the the port changed so that I could make sure that I'm up to date with the current bug patches, etc. It shouldn't take too much to get it working. In fact I'll do it myself if there's enough interest. Whatcha think? Joe -- Josef Karthauser Technical Manager Email: joe@pavilion.net Pavilion Internet plc.
