Thanks for the heads-up, and I'm sure a number of us have now tentatively put this on our to-do lists. However, we're all overworked volunteers here, so the quickest and easiest way you can make this happen is probably if you create and submit such a port yourself! :-) For details on how, see: http://www.freebsd.org/porters-handbook/ If you do embark on that course and you encounter any difficulties, just give a shout to the -ports list... -- V To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
