Imagine that something First I don't really consider Dan a third party (committers has forgotten that he is actually not a committer on several occasions). Second I don't really think /ports/ (the web site) is that that critical. If it was, more people would have complained that for a very long time the ports web pages were very out-of-date. > happen to Dan and the freshports domain changes to porn site or > something... where we will be? Well, it a valid point, but in that case we would update the references to something else. As a last resort we could always resurrect the old /ports/ web site since it will of course stay around in CVS. To remove (potential/hypothetical) problem there could just be a <something>.freebsd.org alias used for references, but I don't really know if there is a real advantage in that. --=20 Simon L.
