=20 =20 =20 =20 Okay, I use the nvidia 390 driver and nvidia-xsettings, but they both hav= e no maintainer. I read all the material about what the responsibilitys a= re for a maintainer and I think I can do a couple. I got a message from p= ortscout about a couple of ports that needed updated. I didn't sign up fo= r any yet but could start there. How do I set my email address to maintai= ner=3F I will begin soon after I reread the documentation for contributin= g to ports and maybe ask a few more questions as they arise. =20 =20 =20 =20 =20 =20 =20 =20 > =20 > On Jun 28, 2020 at 4:23y PM, Michael Gmelin <freebsd=40grem.de> wr= ote: > =20 > =20 > > On 29.

I was wondering if I can adopt a port to= practice maintaining one without the experience to keep it properly upda= ted at first. I'm a little intimidated by contributing and not sure how b= est to learn the porters handbook. I guess read it multiple times=3F > = > Just pick a port that=E2=80=99s unmaintained and that you=E2=80=99re = actually using yourself (ideally on a daily basis). When you do changes, = make sure: - it builds cleanly in poudriere. - it passes portlint. - you = follow the porter=E2=80=99s handbook as good as you can, but without frea= king out about it. In case you=E2=80=99re uncertain, ask questions on thi= s mailing list. Open PRs in bugzilla or (in the beginning) reviews in pha= bricator. Committers will help you. Either it will work, or you will lear= n. No one will judge you, so no worries.
