Greetings, Well, I've had the chance to put together my first port, and I must say, you guys did a hell of a good job with both the ports infrastructure (bsd.port.mk) and the docs. I had no trouble at all getting things to work. Anyway, about the port... I used Linux for awhile, and then switched to FreeBSD. I'm a total convert to FreeBSD; I like it tons better. However, I *do* prefer the Linux colorized `ls' to the one currently in the BSD ports collection; I find it to be more versatile. So, I ported it. I created a port called `linux-ls-3.12.0.2'. The version number is based on the one from Linux's `ls' (which is, in turn, adapted from the GNU fileutils `ls' program). I'd like to submit this port. For now, it's available at: ftp://ftp.netaxs.com/people/bmc/linux-ls-3.12.0.2.tar.gz http://www.netaxs.com/~bmc/linux-ls-3.12.0.2.tar.gz The `netaxs.com' servers are sometimes slow; tomorrow or the next day, I'll put the port on my employer's server, `ftp.telebase.com', where it'll be more reliably available. (I can't do it today; we're snowed in here in eastern Pa.) Comments are welcome. ---- Brian Clapper, bmc@willscreek.com -or- bmc@telebase.com
