If it's an app that requires software/hardware that few committers run, it'll usually take an even longer time. If it's accepted, you'll receive a message letting you know. If there are aspects of it that need correcting, you'll definitely be notified. I'd say be patient, but you'll also need to be persistent. We're all busy, and can't devote as much time to new ports as we'd like. # Adam -- Adam Weinberger adamw@magnesium.net || adamw@FreeBSD.org adamw@vectors.cx || adamw@gnome.org http://www.vectors.cx
