www/vee
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 ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Lastly, this list is also helpful in case you have questions that are not answered with the above resources. -- WXS ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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.

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.
