Not knowing what or how to proceed with such an outdated port, I decided to file a bug report. It seemed the sensible thing to do. As you can see below, Edwin (edwin .at. FreeBSD.org) made the change to close the ticket without much details. > State-Changed-From-To: open->closed > State-Changed-By: edwin > State-Changed-When: Wed Jun 27 07:20:48 UTC 2007 > State-Changed-Why: > Please submit patches Well, I know what patches are, but I don't think patches themselves are able to fix the outdated port.. so I'm lost. What do I do? I thought since the port was extremely outdated, that someone with a commit bit would have to setup the updated port in the CVS tree, I can't commit them myself. I don't even know exactly what patches are needed or where to submit them. So, how do I proceed? I need some tips and a hand-in-hand tutorial on what to update and where to send the update. Thanks for the tips. BTW: I'm subscribed to the questions list on a digest, I ask a CC please on all the replies. --Tim J. If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door. "I can" is a way of life.
