AW: Re: Steam, linux version

[Alexander Leidinger]

Hi, 

The base port is already in the ports tree. What is missing is an update to it, and the infrastructure ports around it. 

For the infrastructure ports I wrote something in my blog.

The update of thhe base port basically means looking at each distfile and searching if there's a more recent version available. 

Volunteers welcome. 

Bye, 
Alexander.

What's the current state of linux_base-c6? Will it hit the ports tree
after 9.1? You latest blog post [1] is from May, so maybe something
happened in the meantime?
