Adopt/fix/clean/update "orphaned ports" Have a look at misc, audio and sysutils categeories, people who "seek" orphaned ports generally don't look here too often. Track bento.freebsd.org logs. 2. don't be scared to take over maintainership even if you don't modify the port 3. Track freshmeat :) 4. Be selective in your ports. 5. subscribe to mailing list at least: - ports@FreeBSD.org - ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org gnome@ kde@ if you wish. Dont forget to check this URL before submitting changes. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi?query 6. start with small ports - try to understand how/why it works/doesn't work - after that your can easly make huge ports Give a look at ${PORTSDIR}/Mk/bsd.*.mk Ports I would like too see (i.e. I planned/done) - POPular - xmail - more NSS modules and more... If you are interested in apache ports: (a little bit outdated) http://apache.cotds.org/cgi-bin/show-modules.cgi (I've already made some of them) You can easily port: - apache modules - perl/python modules - misc desklets and multimedia apps - webapps (just if they are usefull and/or complex) clem
