When the PR was sent to the -ports list, I glanced over it and
only pointed out a couple obvious bogons. I didn't look at it in
any serious way.
I'm sorry, but I simply do not have time right now to look over
too many ports. I'm already bitching at myself for waiting too
long on some three other things I sorta suggested I was going to
do here (no, Eivend, I haven't forgotten about that tclsh/wish
patch! :)...
As for replying to your last query .... I seem to recall that I
started to, but then realized there was nothing significant to
add. I thought I did answer the "should I resubmit the port"
question in private email --- sorry if you didn't get that for
whatever reason. To answer: "No. Most of the changes seem minor
enough that if you make a note of them, whoever commits the port
can simply change them before committing it."
Don't get me wrong --- there is no excuse for the FreeBSD ports
team to leave some of these submitted ports lingering in the PR
system for months. *If* the submitter takes the time to do the
port properly and well, and bothers to read the porting
guidelines and use portlint, then there is no reason we can't
review them faster, save for lack of manpower.
However, please don't single me out unfairly. I have enough
things to take the heat for not acting on already, and this is
not one of them.
