It sounds like a need for a more grained structure of the
ports-related communication, just because the community is growing.
Very often there is a need to discuss one's issue in a list prior to
filing a PR. And yes, *discuss*, I agree with John, people should show
they want to discuss their failed builds, whatever.
I think automated failure reports (ports-qat) would easily be assigned
to a separate list.
I would suggest at least the following divisions: ports-questions@
would be for things like howtos, problems with managing ports,
upgrading, versioning, etc. ports-devel@ for all sorts of ports
build/install issues (port maintainers would be the primary
responders), and ports-auto@ for automated repots like QAT. And the
current ports@ would be aliased to ports-questions@.
There's already ports-bugs@ for issues with ports (see the info on
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports-bugs).
And this also would be the correct address for QAT reports, which
are actually spamming the ports@ list (also imho).
Personally, I do not think that we need yet another list :-).
Cheers
Marcus
