I have to say I've been underwhelmed with the amount of maintainership support I have received from this (ports@freebsd.org) list. Perhaps it's just me, I know the ports-mgr are also very busy. Or in other cases the answer is just unknown. So, as a maintainer I tend to ask google before bugging the list. Is a dedicated maintainer-support list something discussed before? -- Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints... Mark D. Foster, CISSP http://mark.foster.cc/
