Hello doc'ers,
Before going and making a change to the Wiki, I was wondering whether
or not folks would be receptive to adding a "meta-page" to track ports
updates for larger / fairly dependent packages, such as Perl, Python,
KDE, Gnome, X.org, etc for purposes of reducing long email threads
with little benefit, like the following:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2008-July/049609.html
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2008-July/049616.html
(Both are from the same mail thread, but just were filed differently
in mailman).
The issue is that sometimes ports progress can go 'unpublicized' for
some time and people aren't aware of why port(s) x-y-z hasn't/haven't
been updated yet, even though it's/they have been 'stable' (in this
case Perl) for months.
Thanks,
-Garrett
