There is nothing wrong, its just that when you submitted your port on 1/14, we were in the middle of a Ports Freeze in preparation for the release of FreeBSD 6.3 and 7.0, which delayed the commiting of updates and new ports until after 7.0 was released. FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE Announcement Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:00:11 -0500 FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE Announcement Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2008 17:19:52 -0500 > What can I do to get my application accepted? > (problem report: 119672) > 1. Watching the ports lists for announcements of a Ports Freeze 2. Sending a polite reminder message to the FreeBSD-Ports list after 2 - 3 wks has passed since submitting the PR.
