Alexandr, Actually, the purpose of splitting the list into two pieces is to cut down on the amount of traffic that the 99% of us who are not committers have to see. I don't know about you, but my expectation is that I do not receive e-mail from lists that I did not subscribe to, myself. I believe that is called spam. -- Paul A.

Shouldn't it be good thing to subscribe all, who subscribed to ports@ to ports-bugs@ too to not violate user's/porter's expectations? -- NEVE-RIPE, will build world for food Ukrainian FreeBSD User Group http://uafug.org.ua/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
