Someone, such as yourself, to update the port and send a PR. The way I have done it for simple ports, which I suspect many or most others also do, is something like... # cd /usr/ports/games/crafty # make clean # Remove build debris # cd .. # tar -cf crafty.tar crafty # mv crafty crafty-19.1 # tar -xvf crafty.tar # cd crafty # vi Makefile # Update versions and other relevant details # make fetch # Get distfile(s) # make makesum # Update distinfo with new MD5 checksums Check the patches in files/ to see if you think they're still likely to be needed. Leave if uncertain. Check pkg-descr and any pkg-message files for sanity and correctness. # make extract # Unnecessary, but worth testing # make patch # Fix/remove patches as appropriate. make clean and repeat. # make # Fix any build issues. make clean and repeat. Once you've got the new version building cleanly... # sudo pkgrm crafty-19.1 # portlint -a -c # Check the port for correctness (devel/portlint) # sudo make install Make sure it runs properly. # pkg_delete crafty-19.9 Make sure it is removed cleanly. Check pkg-plist if not. # make clean # cd .. # diff -ruN crafty-19.1 crafty # Make the patch to send in the PR # send-pr ..or.. # gtk-send-pr # mv crafty crafty-19.9 # Protection against the next cvsup I think that's about it, apart from the feedback, fixes, pleading on the list(s) and bribing committers. In case of porting questions, RTFM[1], STFW and see the ten thousand or so examples right next to you for hints. Eternal fame and glory (or possibly flame and gory) await!
