Or finally start to implement a ports upload feature for >the unmaintained section - since you don't guarantee anything anyway >this can't do any harm. I'd be willing, if anyone was interested, in managing unmaintained ports. I don't mean keeping them up to date myself, but I could be the person to contact if you update one, and I could check it out and then put the update up on the repository. That way, you wouldn't be restricted to having only one person keeping a port up to date or worrying about if someone was going to continue to keep one up to date, and when a new version came out, the first update that came in would be added, which might be quicker than waiting for a single person to do it. I think this would also encourage people who don't have the time to be full-time maintainers to contribute in at least some way. Anyway, what does everyone think of that? -Paul Bonser _________________________________________________________________ Cheer a special someone with a fun Halloween eCard from American Greetings!

Hmm, personally, I like having the unmaintained ports there. I can search in the /usr/ports dir for something I want to install, and if it is in the unmaintained dir, I know that it's there, and it's usually less work to fix it to be current. Many of them still work fine with just a simple version number change, and if they don't it's often just a matter of googling for the new website. I strongly dissagree with completely removing the unmaintained ports. Perhaps have them be an optional download when you sync your ports dir, but not get rid of them all together. Linux is all about options, I would hate to see some of them limited... As a side note, I've updated a fairly good number of ports in the unmaintained directory, and created some of my own as well. This is a listing of my personal ports dir, and I hope to have them on my webpage sometime soon (the ones that are done, that is). Note that a couple of them still have problems, and a few are just ones that I put there to remind myself that I wanted to make ports of them. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 240 Oct 9 11:55 bittorrent drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 240 Oct 6 20:28 bochs drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 232 Oct 6 20:28 docbook-utils drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 216 Oct 6 20:28 fluxbox drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 216 Oct 6 20:28 fluxbox-dev drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 192 Oct 14 12:02 gnutls drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 248 Oct 9 11:34 gtkseet drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 208 Oct 6 20:28 jaffm drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 336 Oct 14 12:08 libgcrypt drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 120 Oct 14 00:29 libgpg-error drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 96 Oct 6 20:28 libmrproject drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 120 Oct 14 00:42 libtasn1 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 248 Oct 6 20:28 mp3blaster drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 88 Oct 6 20:28 mrproject drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 192 Oct 14 12:23 opencdk drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 208 Oct 6 20:28 plan drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 152 Oct 6 21:57 powervr drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 392 Oct 7 17:02 sdl_ttf drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 216 Oct 13 17:52 wmbluecpu drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 208 Oct 6 20:28 wmcalc drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 240 Oct 13 17:56 wmmemfree drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 176 Oct 13 18:17 wmmultipop3 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 184 Oct 9 18:07 wxpython drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 240 Oct 8 00:23 xine-lib drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 256 Oct 6 20:28 xine-ui drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 288 Oct 16 18:18 xmule drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 72 Oct 6 20:28 zcalc Anyway, I'll post about these again when I have them up so that I can ask about being a maintainer. -Paul Bonser _________________________________________________________________ Send instant messages to anyone on your contact list with MSN Messenger 6.0.

[clc-devel] proposal - prt-check
by Daniel K. Gebhart 16 Oct '03

16 Oct '03

Hi, I know I'm new and should not be to loud. ;-) But I had a idea which I would like to propose. I hope you'll not catch it wrong.. The prt-check script I wanna write should check the availability of each port which has set the (new) tag "Check" to on and write warning mails to its maintainer if something goes wrong. So, the maintainer could decide if he/she gets warnings when something goes wrong with its port or not. This is just an idea and I would propose to write it in python. Cheers, Daniel -- Daniel K. Gebhart http://informatik.uibk.ac.at/users/c703263/ Institute for Computer Science University of Innsbruck Fon: (office): +43 512 507 6490 Mail: <daniel.gebhart(at)uibk.ac.at>
