Correct. So what's your personal contribution towards fixing that issue? E.g. finding out how "other OSes/projects, for some reason, are able to manage their maintainer base to much better results" and teaching that to us would be a great contribution. There are many other ways to contribute as well. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
