I'm done with contributing to CRUX in a formal way, I'm fed up with the bickering. I'm resigning from opt and contrib, so all of my ports in opt or contrib are up for grabs. Ports I maintain in opt: bchunk dbus dbus-glib dbus-python firefox firefox-flash-plugin gl-select grub hal hal-info libxvid mplayer nvidia openntpd rar win32-essential-codecs xulrunner yasm Ports I maintain in contrib: mkvtoolnix md5deep libebml libmatroska hplip -- ~predatorfreak GnuPG Public key: http://pred.dcaf-security.org/dcafsec-pub-gpgkey.asc

Sure you will be missed, I repeat my opinion here too. It's quite sad to lose good people (good people in all senses) in a little comunity. Thank you very much for your work, help and time. -- Learning bit by bit. -pitillo-

Sad to see you go, I hope that day where I gave you hell over hal wasn't a contributing factor ;) Apparently it was rude of me to start adopting ports without first saying please and thank you. I have already adopted libebml, libmatroska, and mkvtoolnix. If there are any objections, let me know. IIRC I asked Brett to move these into contrib in the first place. I won't be touching the firefox port as it's quite clear that it is cursed. Opt ports I'd be willing to take on are dbus*, gl-select, grub, hal*, libxvid, mplayer, nvidia and rar But if anyone else wants them instead I don't mind.
Ports I maintain in opt:
bchunk dbus dbus-glib dbus-python firefox firefox-flash-plugin gl-select grub hal hal-info libxvid mplayer nvidia openntpd rar win32-essential-codecs xulrunner yasm
Ports I maintain in contrib: mkvtoolnix md5deep libebml libmatroska hplip

Thanks for your contributions, and sorry for the bickering :-). Here's an updated list of orphaned ports (thanks for those who picked up the others):
bchunk firefox-flash-plugin nss win32-essential-codecs yasm
yasm currently has no dependent packages in opt, bchunk is a standalone app. I could imagine that people would yell at us if we dropped firefox-flash-plugin and win32-essential-codecs, so if there are volunteers please feel free to speak up :-).

yasm is preferred by both the xvid and x264 developers, potentially other apps. That's why I added it to opt.
Best wishes, Johannes
