CFT – misc/compat7x port

August 21, 2009 by tabthorpe · 1 Comment 

Renato Botelho, aka garga, and I picked up the gauntlet and put together the compat7x port for the upcoming release of FreeBSD 8.

We initially targeted a small audience, and gradually extended our scope. We are now looking for more testers. Those inclined to give it a try are encouraged to download the shar from http://people.freebsd.org/~tabthorpe/patches/misc-compat7x-7.2.702000.200908.shar

Please note that the standard disclaimers apply.

Any feedback is appreciated to garga@ and/or tabthorpe@

Introducing new Ports Committer, Dima Panov

August 11, 2009 by tabthorpe · 1 Comment 

I will be mentoring Dima along with Martin Wilke. Dima was instrumental working behind the scenes in preparing the FreeBSD port of KDE 4.3 and as a result we are punishing him with a commit bit.

Dima’s new handle is fluffy@FreeBSD.org.

Just remember Dima, you are not a real committer until you break the INDEX, then fix it!
