Really? I've chatted with the xchat devs recently and they seemed to be act= ive. As a general rule ports should not maintain or develop software. If you would like to continue development we need to become the _upstream_ developer and maintain a fork or patchset from which you roll releases (and provide the appropriate support). FreeBSD is not in a position to review code to upstream projects. --=20 Eitan Adler
