Hi Kurt, I realise ports is developed on current but I am not running current as I'm not a developer. This thread was originally about a port that came from FreeBSD and wasn't part of current but was attached to the list several years ago.
Being new to this list I assumed it wasn't limited to ports in current but I can appreciate that there are only limited developers in the project and it may not be possible to provide advice or ports for previous releases. I understand that Stuart and Antoine have committed this to current. I was trying to test on 6.4 release and hit some problems, I will do some more reading about the ports system and try to confirm if there's something wrong on my machine. I gather that 6.6 is getting ready for release and I would like to upgrade to the most recent but have not had time to do so.
