If you would like to submit a patch, it would help things along. If you take a look at the porters handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/ it has detailed instructions on how to do this. If you would like help, I'd be happy to assist. Looking at the update briefly, it seems that some of it's dependencies already have ports, but some do not. We would need a port of the domain_name and ntlm-http gems. The module would also need to be updated to work with the 1.2 version of the net-http-digest_auth gem, currently it only supports 1.1.x. Someone would need to contact the upstream author(s) about this. Steve
