This is the part that I've never gotten a good answer for: How do you find a "hat" for your ports submissions? From what I've read a "hat" is supposed to have CVS commit privs. and can put your port into the tree for you. I have yet to read anything about how to locate one, it always happens at random.
In any case I remember it being too late (10:00 PM EDT) last night to start cooking but pizza is for hackers and I managed to get some from this tired suburban area where all the good places close at 9:00 .:x Just before I passed out at midnight due to an overdose of salt and crazy hacking I submitted this:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=65345
which is a port of this:
http://www.disobey.com/amphetadesk/
RSS is big, really big and you need a good client to navigate it. I have yet to find a better one than this.
This port has only been tested on two systems, a 4.9-RELEASE-p4 and 5.2.1-RELEASE-p3. You are welcome to test it. Just save the web page as text (or cut-n-paste) from the line
# This is a shell archive. Save it in a file, remove anything before
to the line
exit
at the bottom. Then cd to /usr (or wherever you put your ports tree.) and run "sh" on the saved text. It will expand into ports/www/amphetadesk and then you can "cd ports/www/amphetadesk" and "make install". I think you have to rebuild your INDEX file to make portupgrade work with it. You do that with "portsdb -Uu" but it takes a while due to lots of disk I/O.
There are docs under /usr/local/share/docs about how AmphetaDesk works but you can just type "AmphetaDesk" and then set your web browser to the URL that it spits out at the end of it's startup.
