--Bzq2cJcN05fcPrs+ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello On the FreeBSD website we have the ports pages at http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ which are inferior in most ways to FreshPorts [1], so I would propose that we retire the FreeBSD ports web pages and just direct people at FreshPorts instead. Does anybody have any strong objections to this? If this is going to be done I plan to put dummy redirect web pages on http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ to replace the current category pages there so there shouldn't be problems with deads links there. The FreeBSD documentation uses http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/url.cgi for port references, so that would not be directly affected but would be changed to redirect to the appropriate port at the FreshPorts sites. BTW. I have asked Dan Langille and he's OK with the idea. [1] http://www.freshports.org/ --=20 Simon L.
