            Bug ID: 253882
           Summary: x11-wm/Motif
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People

I belive is ready to become a NEW port.

I ask for advice on "what would be best for the port team" or for them to add
it into upcoming release intitially so I can work from that point on
(responding to complaints before release).

The handbook asks I not "submitt a whole tarball as an svn .diff" to bugzilla
(and a diff cannot be made because x11-wm/Motif does not exist).

POINT:  it is not even thinkable as a .diff to redhat motif - this is for
freeBSD, not a linux port.  WHY: Motif (motif-2.5.0) is a pure freeBSD compile
(amd64/any) of ~ 2.2.3 with many things fixed still broken in
x11-toolkits/openmotif-2.3.8 by redhat (which is autoconf and doesn't compile
correcly like it says it does, is controlled by redhat not freeBSD, breaks
imake other dire things, requires GNU new depends 2.5.0 has 0).  Made my POINT:
way different.  The source, NEWS, pkg-descr is on github,  I won't jam you with
advertising here.

NEW PORT ERRATA:  I could but do not asks for gpg key and mentor rights to
alter the svn tree to add a node or for svn up submittal.  I don't want to be
more complicated than the ports team have request me to be.  I want to keep it
simple.

This is my very first freebsd bugzilla posting.  I may not know all the rules
yet.

Thanks sorry for boring you with details if I did!
