Well, fortunately, the "support" is already in bsd.ports.mk. What else is there? In my ports, I try to keep the minor numbers. However, the decision needs to made, that this a good (or even acceptable) idea. Just recently another committer -- well known for knowing my low QA skills -- backed out my additions of the minor numbers to a pkg-plist. In the discussion, that followed, he suggested I get the common consensus first, so here I am. > It's probably not something we'd officially support, but if you wanted > to personally do it and take care of the support load then there might > be agreement. I would not create this from scratch, but the support seems to be there already, or am I mistaken and something else needs to be done? -- -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
