I've been having trouble getting the attention of committers. Dunno why. I know it's nothing personal since I haven't had a chance to piss people off yet. :) I asked Doug White to look at this mulberry PR. He's been very helpful with getting the mail/courier monstrosity committed for me. But it seems that he's admittedly not a ports hacker, so I don't wanna pester him about it too much. Problem is that mail/mulberry makes portlint bitch and moan with warnings. A committer not familiar with a trivial yet weird port like mulberry tries to clean up portlint warnings and breaks the port. I tried to clean up the warnings myself. So far as I can tell, it can't be done. portlint will always bitch that DISTFILES has to be first or something else has to be first. Who cares? The port works. The port is readable (it's short enough) and maintainable. >> Thanks for the feedback. > > any time! Thanks for adding the port.

Perhaps if you can help me get the attention of a committer to look at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=34142 than this thing will get fixed. -- Yarema To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
