Thanks for the help! I'm maintaining a number of ports,
besides bioperl:

I was about to ask the same question. Maybe we can
coordinate our efforts and/or help each other in the
maintainance of these ports and to add new ports? 

If other bioperl-l@ readers are using FreeBSD and want to
volunteer, speak up. No previous experience required, we can
get you started quickly :)

I'm also afraid that this discussion doesn't belong to
bioperl-l@ so perhaps we should seek to bring freebsd-bio@
to live again?

| (pains-in-the-ass because of how the src files are made available on
| the web...).

thanks for the fasta3 update :) I've been fighting with it
for some time and never got to finish it

| Depending on how stable the location of the "release candidate" is for
| wise 2.2.3-rc7 (in other words, if Ewan doesn't object), I'll roll up
| a wise-devel port to support p5-bioperl-run.

Great!

OK.

| I'm happy to build others if folks suggest them and as time allows.

I've been working on ports for mpiblast, poa/poaviz, the
vienna RNA package, codonw and wemboss, but time has been
scarce as of late.

But definitely we should have this discussion in freebsd-bio@
or some other place that is both FreeBSD AND bio specific :)
