This has been asked and answered several times ... this can't be integrated until I can test it thoroughly, and I can't do that until I can use it on my systems, and I can't do *that* until (at minimum) the nvidia driver problem is fixed. And all of THAT presupposes that I have time to work on the integration, testing, etc. That said, I have looked at the patch, and there are enough problems with it that I wouldn't want to integrate it as is. When I have time I plan to set up a vbox and test out pkg, at which point I can start looking more carefully at integrating it into portmaster proper. The good news is that the latest is the last revision of portmaster that I have planned for a while. Doug -- Change is hard.
