Description Emil Engler 2021-03-24 16:31:29 UTC
Hello freebsd-ports,
I recently switched to FreeBSD as my daily driver after using OpenBSD with cwm
for a bit over 6 months now. After installing cwm I got the notice that it is
currently unmaintained and is looking for one so here I am :^)
Unfortunately I have no prior experience with maintaining ports but I am
willing to learn. Also the fact that cwm only updates every 6 months (Leah
Neukirchens port even less) makes it probably easier maintaining due to the
slow but steady update frequency.

For questions feel free to reach back to me!

P.S: I've been using *BSD systems, mostly OpenBSD, since mid-2019. As
a Hobby C developer I am also familiar with the *BSD C library to some degree.

Hi Emil,

As a starting point, do you know the Porter's Handbook [1]? There you will find many many interesting things about FreeBSD's ports and how to do make ports even better ;)

[1] https://docs.freebsd.org/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/book.html

If you're still interested in taking over the port after poking around in the handbook, I'd be happy to put you down as a maintainer :)

Hello Rainer,
thanks for pointing me to the Porters Handbook! I already stumbled upon it and planned on scrambling through it the next days. And yes I am still interested :-)
