But this can't be right. I believe it is better to NOT maintain a port rather than maintain a port, which you really don't have the time to make sure works. I am not a developer, I am unable to figure out what is wrong with the port, but thats not the issue. > This is true, but without any error report, there is no way anyone can be sure what exactly the problem is. > Simply put: "I am a maintainer of a port on FreeBSD, but I only have time to run current, and thus doesn't care a rats ass about if the port works on RELEASE, eventhough thats the most widely used version of FreeBSD." > > This can't be right! > That is not what he said, he said that he is unable to test it on another version, as he only runs -CURRENT. supply some error reports, logs, etc of the problem, and someone will likely test it for you. I myself had no problem building databases/gnats4 on -RELEASE. databases/gnats is marked as FORBIDDEN due to a security issue. __________________________________________________ Frank Laszlo System Administrator The VonOstin Group Email: laszlof@tvog.net WWW: http://www.vonostingroup.com Mobile: 248-863-7584
