Hi all, I don't want to create a big fuss, but does anybody besides me find that having portballs sent to the incoming directory on ftp.freebsd.org is a bit of a pain? I have a much easier time closing PRs when they are attached to the PR. I know this fattens up the PR system but it does make good at keeping records of the original portball. I know, I know, all I have to do is send off an Email asking that the files be moved, but I find myself time and again just skipping over PRs because the files I need are not readily available. :( I for one would like to put in my vote to change the handbook to say that attaching the portball to the PR should be the norm. I know this would not be the desired solution for large ports (eg. history has shown the pine* ports to be larger than most), but it would catch most cases and make it easier for me at least. ;) Thoughts/comments? No flames. :) Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
