Half of our portfiles (2139 of 4300) are currently unmaintained. Even ports that are maintained are not necessarily working properly. How could we in good conscience even declare that the current port collection is "stable"? How would dividing our efforts between stable and unstable branches help us to improve our ports collection faster than we do now?
[snip] I'd gladly volunteer to take some. I think that it would make sense to assign the ports by priority: Important ones first. However, as I'm relatively new to MacPorts I don't know which ports are considered to be important (or very popular). Any suggestions? How would I go about "adopting" an unmaintained port? Michael
