Right, so if you can't do this yourself nothing says you can't email ports@ and ask if someone who uses the application or knows the code a bit better can help you review the changes. If nobody responds, oh well, don't commit the update.. but someone (maybe even the author) may reply saying "oh, that fixes bug id #<whatever>". --pete -- Pete Fritchman [petef@(databits.net|freebsd.org|csh.rit.edu)] finger petef@databits.net for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
