So far your feedback was the only response I got. Hopefully a committer will see this and take a look at the port. I mean, I understand that Courier is a tricky beast to port and not the easiest thing to evaluate since it usually means the committer needs to either have a spare box to do it on or bring down their own MTA. But it's going on three months now that my original PR has been open without any feedback whatsoever. So once again, thanks for writing. Sorry about the tone above .. I was just venting a bit. I appreciate any lobbying to get this port committed. I would rather maintain it for the whole community than just for myself. If it was just for me I would never have gone to the extra effort to make this port package correctly. Also if any committer does look at this PR please grab the tarball from http://yds.dppl.com/courier/courier.tgz -- about 16k or if need be I can resubmit another PR. -- Yarema To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
