Hi and sorry, this message is not related to security

I have updated the ports collection and the 3.5 stable base source, tar-ed
everything and then use it to upgrade a newly installed 3.4-release to
3.5-stable. But the pm3 port was the old 1.1.13 and cvsup depended on
1.1.14 (on the newest ports collection). Now I have to download 20
megabytes just for this reason: 'Upgrade to pm3-1.1.14. This eliminates
103 patch files. :-)'

Is there any way to update the ports distfiles (something like cvsup)?
I see there are both pm3-1.1.13 and pm3-1.1.14 distfiles on
ftp.freebsd.org... Maybe a target in the makefile which extracts the
package distfile (first find what version we have), download the
(small) patches, apply them and optionaly re-create the archive (and
rename it)?

Ofcorse, someone should create the patches :)

Have a lucky day
