I am opening up a anonymous ftp site for new ports.  This site will
provide users with the ability to have mass testing of there software before
hacing it put on freebsd.cdrom.com.

The machine:  netport.neosoft.com

The server goes down on Saturday Morning at 1:00am CST for one hour.

Here is a basic layout of the server

/incoming   		  an untested temporary collection a software.

/pub/FreeBSD/beta-ports   New ports that have barely been tested.  More work
			  is need.

/pub/FreeBSD/ports	  Ports ready to go off to freebsd.cdcom.com but are
			  not yet in package format.

To request that ports be put under the FreeBSD/ tree a message must be sent
to FreeBSD-ports-request@netport.neosoft.com.  Include a short description and
where and where the original sources came from.


PLEASE do not upload binaries.
