(a CC is appreciated; most posts to this list get filtered locally otherwise...) I'll find some time this week to see what I can do to bring the board manager back. It was removed when I initially ported Arduino 1.6.x because there was some conflict in the functionality itself with how we patch other bits, but I'm foggy on the details at this point because that's been a couple years. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
