We are not only committers, we are also humans!
portmgr has accepted Baptiste Daroussin as a port freebsd committer. After several good PR, he has his punishment.
I will mentor him with my old wise mentor tabthorpe@. Together, we wrote a little questionnaire.
1- Can you introduce yourself?
I'm a unix system engineer, I use FreeBSD since 4.X but don't
remember what number the X, I'm a rugby player (second row) and
I'm really not good at introducing myself.
2- When was your first pr and why?
My first pr was to add a new ports multimedia/zapping, to be able
to watch TV with my bktr card, but it never enters the ports tree.
The pr is sill suspended : ports/86401
3- What is your favorite beer/whiskey?
My favorite beer, it's hard to find one but I would say "trappiste rochefort"
About whiskey I love "Old Pulteney" and with a completely different taste
"Caol Ila"
4- Are you in a LUG/BSD association?
I'm a member of BSDFrance but not doing that much
5- Vim or Emacs ?
vim, what else?
6- What is the most embarassing thing you will admit to having on your iPod?
I don't have any ipods, and if I had I would said nothing as I really assume
my tastes (the bad ones as the others)
7- Boxers or briefs?
Boxers for sure
8- What is your preferred x11-wm/ on FreeBSD?
i3 or pekwm depending my mood
9- As a maintainer, who where your 3 favourite committers?
jadawin, miwi, liminon^Wtabthorpe
10- What would you like to achieve as a Ports committer?
I would like to improve the binary package creation/usage
Have fun with freebsd and welcome on board bapt@!

Please, wait.
"Please, be patient" is the only sentence that I heard from my ISP since Feb. 13rd.
We, my family and me, moved for a new house and we tried to moved our ADSL line. And we are still waiting!
By the way, all my apologies for delay closing PRs and to people who sent me email to update some ports or test new functionnality. But I still don't have internet at home! My ex-mentor and good friend tabthorpe@ gave me an access on regis, then I can work a little bit for FreeBSD, now. Thanks you Thomas.

SSL Capable Netcat
Sbz sent a pr to update scnc to 1.04. Thanks, dude.
I won't paste all text from Gomor's sslnetcat webpage, but, trust me, scnc is really really useful.
