wget package missed

Hey fellows,

I just figured that there is still no wget package available in packages-9-current yet ...


Is there a quick & easy "how to" you could refer me to? ... to help getting that package being created and uploaded?

This one seems a bit rough to be done within a hour timeframe ...

Thanks
 
wget already is a port. The reason it is not in that repository is probably that fewer ports are built as packages in the -9- branch than the -8- branch due to hardware limitations of the build cluster(s). Unless I am misinformed about some other reason, anyway.
 
Well, back from my Debian Linux times ... I remember that creating a Package was not too hard. So no ofence but my question was not how to use wget port ;) - My aim is to help getting more -9- branch packages - and if there is a easy way to do so than I would love to know.

Thanks
 
You can donate additional hardware to be used for the build cluster.

Keep in mind there are about 22000+ ports, 7 different architectures and 4-5 different versions of FreeBSD to package for.

As for creating your own packages, use make package. See ports(7).

Forget about uploading your package to the central repository, it will never be accepted.
