Hi Ok, but there is another point of view. In my private mail people ask for fresh features or bugfixes not yet ported and registered with the FreeBSD ports system. Submitting port via formal procedure takes time for e.g. famous regression tests of freebsd team. With nightly ports publicly available situation tends to relax.
If linux people do not need a work done by somebody else, and prefer everything done by themselves, then ok, they do not need it. As for testing. Yes, night builder is the first one to notice missing entries in Manifest. As for me, I feel absolutely stupid reporting to the list missing entries in the Manifest after nearly each commit. You could have noticed that I stopped doing so. Instead, had to enforce "make manifest" by hand in the night builder script. Do you think that "make manifest" could be included inside of each target for make in the initial source code (I am not an expert with automatic making of Makefile) ? Or perhaps somebody (Alex?) wants to share getting of the automatic e-mail reports about night build fails at my local host?
