Hi Freebsd-porters,
I have a question about the New-port procedure. On 17 feb I created this port http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=120757 , hoping to see it soon in the official FreeBSD ports tree. I tested the port against the rules in the FreeBSD porters handbook so I knew it worked completely (on my freebsd platform). After that there were several things happening (and not happening) : - First weeks nothing, nobody to pick it up in the audit trail .. - Than somebody else who also created a port for the same joomla15 software. - Than some "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" who made himself responsible for the port on 7 march. - After a while I noticed that a non working FreeBSD port joomla15 which was not my version, was committed :-? - I emailed him for question how to help to commit the port and I was anwered that I had to wait for a while. - Now I got this email, that another submitted the same software before the procedure to commit my port was finished. My question : can I get the right to commit a port myself or is there any other way to have some more influence on getting the port commited ? There's lots of other nice software to be ported in the future, but I'd like to see my port actually appear in the FreeBSD ports tree.
