Re: Submitting ports with required dependencies

New ports in an attached tar please, not as diffs. Updates preferably as diff -u (inline if you know how to do that without them getting mangled, or as attachments). If there are just a couple then in one mail is often easier to keep track of. Don't have too many in flight at once (especially at first, feedback might be common to several ports).

I've done some reasearch on this already, but I was curious if anyone
had any guidance on the best way to submit a new port which requires
several other new ports as dependencies?

I can see a few options, and would be interested in what would make
reviewing and potentially giving an OK to the new ports easiest?

Should each port be submitted separately to ports@, with or without
the context that the port is required as a dependency for another port?

Or is it best to submit all patches for all dependency and the main port
at the same time, in the same mail? I assume with patches as attachments
rather than inline?

Thanks!
