I'm too busy to review or help what you'r up to, sorry, but if your changes are the way FreeBSD is going, I have hardware that uses these: /usr/ports/comms/gnokii MAINTAINER=mad@madpilot.net /usr/ports/misc/estic Port by me, MAINTAINER=dinoex@FreeBSD.org /usr/ports/sysutils/nut MAINTAINER=Joerg.Pulz@frm2.tum.de & if necessary ? I'll be able to test diffs occasionaly when necessary. (Hosts here run releasess & stable, but I could put up current when needed). Loads of people presumably similarly rely on serial port coms to various obscure Non PC hardware, Sometimes ports MAINTAINER= wont have hardware to test with (eg in case of misc/estic I think). Perhaps ports Makefiles might benefit from another variable with email of hardware tester[s] ? (thus cc'd suggestion to portsmaster@freebsd.org) -- Julian Stacey.
