Hi, I agree with your point of view. I would like to request for a repocopy. However, I suggest to change the portname to libpng, the official name, if possible. That is, 1. graphics/png -(repocopy)-> graphics/libpng12 2. graphics/png -(move)-> graphics/libpng and update it to libpng 1.4.x If it really works, please handle this port. Thanks.
