Hi David,

I have compiled gnustep-base on PCBSD 9.1 using the gnustep ports at 
redports. Working well so far and the tests on gnustep-base have passed.

First, a question on portshaker as I couldn't find much documentation on 
it. With the configuration below, when I ran "portshaker" I had to 
choose to "install" your ports over the top of the existing freebsd 
gnustep ports for each port.
I expect I should set "ports_trees" to a different directory than 
/usr/ports. Just wondering how you do it...

 /usr/ports/lang/gnustep-base $ cat /usr/local/etc/portshaker.conf
mirror_base_dir="/var/cache/portshaker"
ports_trees="gnustep"
gnustep_ports_tree="/usr/ports"
gnustep_merge_from="ports redportschisnall"

/usr/ports/lang/gnustep-base $ cat 
/usr/local/etc/portshaker.d/redportschisnall
#!/bin/sh
. /usr/local/share/portshaker/portshaker.subr
method="svn"
svn_checkout_path="https://svn.redports.org/theraven";
run_portshaker_command $*

---
Secondly, with FreeBSD and these GNUstep ports, can I expect to be able 
to use libdispatch to read a network socket? I wish to use this call; 
"dispatch_source_create(DISPATCH_SOURCE_TYPE_READ, socket, 0, 
dispatchQueue)". It isn't working for me so far.

Thanks
Stephen
