So, would a good process be to put a note on Wiki and email list or just put in Wiki and see if someone picks up? Hm.. or should this be something for the jobs list? I figure the request would usually be small enough and be port related that this list may be the most appropriate.. ___ 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

As long as the volume stays small sending mail to -ports (like you did) is probably the best way for now Agree. For contract/long term tasks sure.. jobs is the right place, but we should have a place where people can sponsor short, specific, features in FreeBSD.

Sponsoring ports
Is there a list/page somewhere of port commiters willing to do paid work for sponsored ports? Would be great to have a list of such developers at http://wiki.freebsd.org/WantedPorts I am looking for someone to work on porting http://pypy.org If anyone knows of developer(s) or is such developer please drop me a line with estimate cost.

Re: Source install to look like installed package
Matthew Seaman writes: You mean you want to generate a /var/db/pkg/portname-1.2.3 directory with appropriate contents so you can wrangle a bunch of files already on your hard drive as if they were a port? Yes. Actually, that's pretty much what the ports system does when you do an install from source. Check out the commands the 'do-package' target runs as shown in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk Ok. Submitting PRs with updates to bring the FreePascal port up to date will earn you karma points... I am thinking perhaps start out with a binary port or a package until I get familiar with the port system.

Source install to look like installed package
Where could I find the structure of an installed port? I am trying to take an existing binary install and make it appear as an installed package to facilitate uninstall. It is the FreePascal install script. Although we have a a port, it usually is behind. The existing script basically just untars some binaries to a user selected directory. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
