Hello, I'm maintaining games/ioquake3 and games/ioquake3-devel and I'd like to support more platforms than i386 and amd64. If anyone would like to support me, please apply the patch from ports/141453: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=141453 Remove the ONLY_FOR_ARCHS line in games/ioquake3 and try to build games/ioquake3 and/or games/ioquake3-devel (the latter is more useful to send patches upstream). Send me the entire output. A committer explained to me that he doesn't want to deal with SVN snapshot based ports. Is that a common attitude and what should I do to remedy this? I'm providing distfiles, the web space for these is provided by a friend and the patches are all provided within the distfiles so they don't bloat the port. I've got no idea what else to do about this. I deem the devel port is necessary, because the switch from 1.34 to 1.36 was terrible. I'd been trying to port it for more than a month and just gave up. Half a year later I managed to solve all the major problems within a day, but all the patches in the original port had turned useless. This doesn't mean the addressed problems were gone. It just means they had been moved around into different files, the code all around changed and so on. Regards -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
