Thomas, good day.

Yes, it is described in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/book.html#PORTING-SUBMITTING
The thing is, i wrote this hex editor:
http://www.freshmeat.net/projects/dhex which i am rather proud of.
and now i would like to spread it.
You should create the port by yourself and become the maintainer
or you should find some other person who will do it (and become the
maintainer of the FreeBSD port for your software).
however, i am an openbsd user. so i don't know how to exactly make a
port for freebsd.
There is a Porter's Handbook,
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/book.html
but if you don't want to port the stuff (or have not enough time),
I should say that having used DHEX for a couple of minutes I should
say that it is a good tool for my ocassional hex-related work, so
I can port and maintain it or I can help you to port it.
And may I also suggest the attached patch to the DHEX Makefile:
it will allow people to set their own values of CC, CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS
and LDFLAGS. For example, FreeBSD has the stock settings for the
CFLAGS and currently we can choose the compilers to be at least
gcc or clang. The stuff is described in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/book.html#DADS-CC
and
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/book.html#DADS-CFLAGS
Hope that sheds some light on the topic.
And the additional nit: compiling dhex on the FreeBSD 9.x shows some
signedness warnings:
{{{

I am not sure if they are harmful or harmless, but I usually it worth
to consider compiler's warnings. Don't know if you had seen them
on the systems you were testing/using DHEX, so reproducing them there.

Re: how do i suggest a program for your ports collection?
I should say that having used DHEX for a couple of minutes I should say that it is a good tool for my ocassional hex-related work, so I can port and maintain it or I can help you to port it. like i said: i am mostly an openbsd user, so i'd REALLY appreciate it if you could become the ports maintainer. of course, i could always set up a virtual machine, install freebsd in there. however, since i wouldn't use it very often, i fear for the port's quality. And may I also suggest the attached patch to the DHEX Makefile: thank you very much, i'll have a look at it. And the additional nit: compiling dhex on the FreeBSD 9.x shows some signedness warnings: I am not sure if they are harmful or harmless, but I usually it worth yes, i saw them. whenever i added -pendantic. currently, those warnings are just a nuisance. but i'll tackle them in the next release. ___ 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
