Oops thought I sent this to the list too...
Alright, let me qualify first before I talk about ports. For the last 3 months I've been using my own distribution of Linux made. [..ยท]
I have a preliminary port of gcc-ssp here: http://sonic.net/~someone/files/gcc-ssp.tar.bz2 It's not finished right now, I'd advise against using it with ccache right now, although I do use it for everything it needs some more testing.
The other thing I'm interest in porting right now is gaim-encryption (see: http://gaim-encryption.sourceforge.net) which is just a method of encrypting conversation over AOL's instant messaging network via gaim (see http://gaim.sourceforge.net), a very popular IM client for Linux. I'd suggest you set up a personal ports repository and start to maintain those ports for a while. This might be one of the points where our maintainer guidelines are unclear, but for now we try to select maintainers which have some experience with maintainance of CRUX ports and CRUX in general. While you seem qualified to reach that, we can hardly judge your capabilities by a single port you call preliminary, and ideas for ports you'd like to do. I also had the impression that you just started with CRUX.
A few notes on your port: - the header should only contain a single URL tag - there are some files missing in your source line: - protector.dif - protectoronly.dif - protector.c and protector.h - ccache-gcc-ssp ccache-g++-ssp Fixing the later will allow you to refer to those file using a correct path; for now, your Pkgfile accesses files outside the work directory of a port, which will fail if the pkgmk work directory is different from the port's base directory. Furthermore, I'm not sure if it it's possible to have source files in a directory, but this is of course easily changed. So please continue to build ports, publish them and maintain them for a while, and once you're familiar with CRUX and the things surrounding it (CLC etc.) feel free to apply again here. If you have further questions, feel free to ask; there's also an IRC channel where many of the guys from CLC can be found: it's #crux on irc.freenode.net. Kind regards, Johannes P.S.
