Hi, By the end of August I will no longer be able to actively maintain my ports--this Fall is going to be the hardest semester of university yet. ;-) I'm not sure what my formal responsibilities could be called. KDE maintainer--certainly--plus desktop-related stuff, multimedia, and things that I think are really useful like shorewall, rsnapshot, ntp, etc. 112 ports is a lot to just move to the attic over the weekend, so I'd like this email to be a sort of advance notice and a request to start adopting my ports. I'll also stop serving my personal httpup repository, so if anyone feels like checking any of them into opt (cabextract or buffer come to mind...maybe digikam), please do so soon. I will continue to provide a tarball of the repository on my web site, and Younès <ycrux@club-internet.fr> has expressed a willingness to adopt these ports, so none of this repository will be lost. What I feel is the more pressing issue is that I don't really have the time to package and test KDE anymore, nor have I found someone to inherit the responsibility of doing so for both the latest, and future releases. Ideally I think that it would be nice if someone would maintain the official parts of KDE in opt, and then publish anything KDE-related as a kde-extra.httpup repository. I don't think that it really matters if all of my other ports become fragmented among multiple maintainers, but it makes sense for bulk of the KDE stuff to be handled by one or two people. I will transfer all of my convenience scripts, sources for update information, KDE packager email list, pre-release tarball downloading procedures, etc. to whoever we find (assuming he or she might want any of these). `hope you will know of someone who might be interested in adopting our KDE implementation (I haven't asked him yet, but possibly Younès?), Nick
