Submit the port and the > package will appear. I'm not shure it has a sence to talk about a port in in my case. Nothing was ported. Nobody will need to recompile this package. This package only installs some additional locale and syscons tables and script for their activation. In general, this tables wold be added to a src/share tree, but the package is version independant and may be applied to any pre-installed 2.X-5.X FreeBSD box as an easy workaround. I only wanna submit a package, i don't want to submit a port. ps btw there is no guarantee, that submitted port will appear although in a packages collection. Why will i make problems to unexpirienced users to compile port by themselves ? All they need is pkg_add at all.
