I don't object if you fix ports builds, but doing ports updates without maintainer's approval right and left is not acceptable, read Porters Handbook how it should be handled, thanks. > Have we become so process oriented that we've become paralyzed?? > Actually, yes we have.

You were asked 3(!) times if it was approved or not by maintainer, since you updated the port, but you didn't care and want to complain now ? -Kirill
