No. Setting MAINTAINER=po...@freebsd.org is the placeholder for unmaintained ports. > I hate this tool (Cacti) but I have to support it for a client.

We have the "Porter's Handbook" which is a reasonable starting point, and we have the ports mailing list here for support - just toss your questions here. Regarding staging in particular, we also have <https://wiki.freebsd.org/ports/StageDir>. > Ditto www/squid where the latest rev is 3.5 but ports is 3.3. I am > running a patched 3.4. The formalities for a ports maintainer are minimal, your e-mail would already be sufficient. Make a copy of the original cacti directory, change it until you think it's good, then make a diff ("diff -Nur /old/directory /new/directory") and upload it somewhere, or if you think it's already good to go, file it to our bugzilla and mention the bug ID here, mentioning you made a patch to make it support staging to prevent expiry. _______________________________________________ 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"
