My opinion would be make a .tgz of the port directory and put it on a web/ftp server somewhere, then post a link to the ports mailing list asking folks to look at it and provide feedback. Yes, a 466K shar file posted to the mailing list is going to tick a lot of people off ;) -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
