www/vee

2008-09-19 Thread B. Estrade
I am the author of www/vee, and when checking to see if it's been upgraded to 
the latest I found out that there was no longer a maintainer for this port.

http://www.freshports.org/www/?page=19

I am interested in getting the latest version into ports, and am willing to 
become port maintainer for it - if someone would kindly point me to the 
documentation describing how to do such a thing.

The vee site is: http://www.0x743.com/vee/

Cheers,
Brett

Also, reading through /usr/ports/Mk/* is a good idea if you ever get
stuck.

Lastly, this list is also helpful in case you have questions that are
not answered with the above resources.

Okay.  So I followed the instructions on updating at 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/port-upgrading.html,
 and during the process updated the checksum file with 'make makesum' and ran 
the suggested install/deinstall/reinstall/etc tests. Everything worked fine, so 
I sent in the result of 'diff -ruN vee.bak vee' in through send-pr.

So is that about it? Also, I mentioned in the report that I'd like to be the 
maintainer for the port, but would like to reiterate it.

Thanks - this was pretty fun and the replies I got were very helpful.

Cheers,
Brett

Provided it passes the tests that a committer will put your update
through, then yes.  We are currently in a freeze for the upcoming
releases so please be patient as the kind of update you have prepared
will have to wait until the tree is thawed.

 Thanks - this was pretty fun and the replies I got were very helpful.

Your welcome, and welcome to the club.  :)
