There is no BSD family ports collection. :-( Both NetBSD and OpenBSD have made changes to their own bsd.port.mk. For starters, the people we list as NetBSD_MAINTAINER and OpenBSD_MAINTAINER are no longer the maintainers. OpenBSD in particular has some significant changes that do merit consideration from us (to merge these changes back in), although I personally feel a little unsure about some of them. If you want to start a BSD family ports collection, there will be no argument from me. :-) > I'm hoping it's just a matter of defining a few OS variables and then > testing each port to see if it's happy with BSDI.

Is this something Go through the individual MAINTAINER and then the PR system. -- This .sig is not innovative, witty, or profund.
