Well, Samba is ported (and pretty current too), but the box I'm doing the ports on is behind a firewall and I have only ssh access. And from there http and ftp to the outside world, so I usually use wget to pull packages. Furthermore the ports should be on a stable release I'll look into the git business. Just a few weeks ago I started using GitHub for some other project and really start to like it. Bye, Jojo
