A slight DPorts scramble There was some issues with the DPorts repo, so you may need to reset your local copy. This only applies if you pulled down a copy in the last 48 hours or so. (update: or less, based on John's comment) Otherwise, you are fine.

actually it’s more like pulling in the last 4 hours or so…
So as I understand it Dports is now being forked entirely instead of being mostly a series of compatibility enhancements with FreeBSD ports.
Does this mean that DragonFly will need its own “team” of persons who maintain each of these ports like FreeBSD ports does or am I mistaken as to how this process works.
At any rate, is there a way that we users can help in this process?
I don’t know that it’s being forked, or that it will need a team like what you describe, etc. Wait and see is the best advice I have right now.
I really hope this isn’t going to be a fork.
Dragonfly is already maintained by an extremely small community as it is.
A fork will only makes things harder.
