In most cases you aren't telling a maintainer anything new. There's a tool called portscout (http://portscout.freebsd.org/) that often tells them exactly when a new update is available. You certainly can ask if they know about it and if so, if/when they plan to update the port. That's fine to do so you shouldn't have been scolded (I guess it depends on the tact you took) Apparently it was once acceptable to request updates on GNATS but this policy has changed, and it's never been allowed on bugzilla (all 2 months of it). again, the best approach is to provide a patch that updates it, then all the maintainer has to do is "approve" it, and then a committer will commit it. But just asking "hey, how about updating that?" is probably going to have mixed results. Sorry I don't have better advice... We don't have a "withdraw" disposition, so I'll close with "not enough info" where info is the patch we didn't get. :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
