Hi Andy,

Agreed! We also run rt over FreeBSD since rt-1.0.7, and we rely
on the ports tools to keep track of third-party packages in our servers,
otherwise it would be an unbearable task, once that mantaining our
dept. IT infrasctructure is not our mission.

I've contacted the www/rt38 port mantainer. Altough he didn't gave me
a schedule, he told me that the port update is his todo list. I also am
eager waiting the port for rt-3.8.2. :-(

Best regards,

Alex
