--Sig_/NY76oltCCBw748CbNb6RMk9 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, While building java/ on QAT, I see a lot of ports failing to fetch or requiring manual fetch (sigh). I also see a lot of versions for the same thing, some of them very old. I'm on a killing spree WRT these ports, most notably java/linux-sun-?dk?? If you care about them, please update them to the latest release or at least point the users to a download URL that doesn't require 30 minutes of digging on that site. Also, enter the names of the java@ members at http://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsTeams (please look at the other teams entries for what should be there; if you already have a wiki page or some other resource you can link it, but at minimum it should contain the list of people behind java@). For your reference, portmgr@ asked this almost a year ago, an I'm about to wave the cattle prod about his. > Date: Sun, 31 Jan 2010 21:28:22 +0200 > From: Ion-Mihai Tetcu <itetcu@FreeBSD.org> > To: ports-developers@FreeBSD.org, portmgr@FreeBSD.org > Subject: listing alias/mailing list maintainers >=20 >=20 > Hi, >=20 >=20 > portmgr@ would like to ask the members of various teams to document on > the wiki.FreeBSD.org the membership of their respective teams inside at > most two weeks.
