Do you have a server to host some packages on (the i386 packages from the FreeBSD build infrastructure)? If so I could create a script that will automatically update the amd64 portion of the port when a change is detected (perhaps a dailly periodic script). > Thank you very much for your perseverence on this matter, David!
