I should have given more background. I don't follow FreeBSD development closely, but I want to support it, so I want to make my software easy to use by FreeBSDers. I look at the handbook and do and test the port. Now how do I get the port to people, get it in the collection, etc.? I'm thinking of a new section 17.2.5.x on <http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/porting.html>; that says 17.2.5.x After the Port Works To distribute your port to others, (1) Ftp your port to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/incoming and (2) send mail about it to freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG. or whatever you think is best. -John Heidemann
