I'm currently finnishing up test builds (of all 300+ ports), and I'm going to start committing some changes during the week. I'm hoping to get Satoshi to commit the bsd.port.mk changes on Tuesday or Wednesday (waiting for Ade's comments), and then there'll be a bunch of mega-commits for various types of support. My request is that, if at all possible you don't make changes to any GTK or Gnome ports over the next week. At the rate that the ports change, I've generally been having to merge and retest 4 ports a day... When you have 368 patched ports in your tree, this is a time comsumming task. People can live without a minor upgrade for a week. The first round of patches, hopefully starting tommorrow will be whitespace changes and PLIST sorting, to make the task to checking patches easier.
