Hi, Having just taken the plunge and updated my world to 6.0-STABLE on one of my boxen, I'm going through the process of installing gnome2 et al. I've used portinstall -Pp so as to end up with packages for everything I install so that I can more quickly update my other box from 5.4-RELEASE to 6.0-STABLE + packages. Since I'll soon have used up a lot of time building binary packages, it occurred to me that it might be useful to submit these packages to the official repositories. But the question is "How?". Do I have to contact the port maintainer? Would the maintainer trust me? Adam. __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL – Something to write home about.
