Hi Aiza, Where did you get that information? Whoever told you that is mistaken. A large number of commits have entered the ports tree since the beginning of the year. Have a look at the ports CVS mailing list archive since December 2009: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-ports/ The ports tree does go into a freeze or slush state around release times, but that doesn't completely stop commits either, mostly sweeping changes that affect a great number of ports or introduce some other incompatibility. Here's some more information: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/committers-guide/ports.html#AEN1466 Hope that helps, and thank you for your new port, Greg - -- Greg Larkin http://www.FreeBSD.org/ - The Power To Serve http://www.sourcehosting.net/ - Ready.
