(Apologies to any Greeks on the list). I think it would be a pretty cool project to write a tool that asks lots of questions and then eventually spits out a port Makefile. it could allow the user to browse to places and then analyse the links used etc. I think the port writer's handbook is a bit intimidating to new ports submitters. > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
