Hi Porters!

I am happy to announce that redports.org has finally
reached the point where I think It's safe to be used
by everybody! In case you never heard of it before
redports is the result of an idea born at EuroBSDCon
2011 in Karlsruhe to give Port Maintainers and Port
Committers a public service to test their new ports
or ports patches during development or before
submitting a ports PR.

Many people test ports only on their own machine
because of lack of hardware. Redports gives you
instant access to build environments for FreeBSD 7.4,
8.2, 9-CURRENT, 10-CURRENT on i386 and amd64 and even
special ones that use CLANG/LLVM or GCC 4.5 as ports
compiler.

For everyone familiar with FreeBSD Ports Tinderbox [1]
it's pretty obvious how it works. In fact redports is
build on top of multiple Tinderboxes so it is
scalable, fast and reliable. With your account you get
your own Subversion Repository to maintain your ports
and with every commit to the repository all affected
ports are automatically built.

When registering an account please read the UserGuide
[2] first to get an idea of how to work with it.
Feedback and new Ideas are welcome!


Best regards,
Bernhard Fröhlich (decke@)
