Hm, we should have coordinated our efforts. I'm also creating FreeBSD ports
for Husky, but they're not all finished yet. :)
Can you send me your ports for trying out?

I doubt that. The complete ports tree is still in freeze because of the
upcoming 5.0-Release (for several weeks now). I havn't seen your commits on
freebsd-ports mailing list until now, either. How did you commit?

Actually this echo should be the platform to announce new releases.

I already wondered about that, too. ;-)

Did you use WRKSRC to overcome this problem, or how did you solve it?
