X-BeenThere: freebsd-ports@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting software to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 22 May 2008 17:57:33 -0000 I wanted to start playing with MovableType and was surprised that there is no port for it. Of course I'm talking about the Open Source version. If this were some obscure bit of software that few people had an interested in running, I would expect the answer to my question to be something like "because you haven't made a port for it yet". Now I should point out that I've only written one port in life (and it was very simple one for a perl module). I should also point out that I am unfamiliar with MovableType or any other web CMS. So other than the fact that I wanted to evaluate MovableType, I consider myself not really in a position to produce a port. I was wondering if people have tried and failed to produce port for this, or whether someone is working on it, or whether there is some licensing difficulty that I'm unaware of.
