I will have an update for textproc/py-4suite Read the Porter's Handbook and feel free to ask all your questions in ports@ mail list. > ready soon, but need to know what the preferred manner is of telling you that > I need to remove the entire 'files' subdirectory from the old version of the > port. Look at ports/75016 as example. I'd like to note you on this points: 1) synopsis line in format: [maintainer] category/port: what change 2) Clsass: maintainer-update (1) and 2) only if you're a port maintainer) 3) in Description: the reason of PR (may be more descriptive than synopsis, may be not). 4) Specify list of files you add and remove. 5) Fix contains unify diff (diff -ruN or cvs diff -u if you use a CVS tree (not cvsup)) Things changed if you submit a new port. Thank you for contributing. -- Sem.
