Folks, For those who don't know, I'm in the last stages of publishing a book on FreeBSD. Last night, it occured to me that it would be really nifty if I could get a FreeBSD metaport to include all the software discussed in the book. This would be much like the docproj port; it wouldn't include anything in and of itself, it would just depend on a whole bunch of other ports. I don't know what FreeBSD's policy on this sort of thing is, but I figured it was worth asking for. Would someone out there be willing to build a proper port of, say, misc/absolutebsd if I can provide a list of the ports it would require?
