so who or what decides if I can put this in? As a long term committer from before there were ports, do I have access to it? do I need to get a ports mentor? (seems likely and would make sense).. do I apply somewhere? Or should I look for soemone in ports to do it for me?


This patch is pretty self explanatory.

it allows us to keep patches for various ports separately in a sparse hierarchy while not having to write to the ports tree itself.

In case the list scrubs hte text attachment (diff) here's the description part of the diff.

If anyone thinks this is a good idea, I'd like it to go in as we have to maintain it..
I could commit it myself but haven't had my ports wings awarded yet..
