I assume it will still work after the update. Shouldn't be a problem.

I was just starting the same task actually. However I also came to the conclusion that just updating the port to the latest stable versions would break a number of applications (primarily asterisk) so I was going the way of other ports and putting in versions: pwlib - latest stable version from openh323.org (1.5.2) openh323- latest stable version from openh323.org (1.12.2) and then adding ports for later releases (probably two seperate versions until all applications depending on pwlib and openh323 can be confirmed to work with latest versions and then the whole can be merged back into a single port): The Janus release (which may work with asterisk and should work with gatekeeper and newer versions of gnomemeeting): pwlib16 (1.6.6.3) openh323-113 (1.13.5.3) The Pandora release (which is the recommended version for gatekeeper and will work with newer versions of gnomemeeting) pwlib17 (1.7.5) openh323-114 (1.14.4) The Mimas release (updated version of Pandora so everything that works with Pandora should work with Mimas in which case the Pandora release can be skipped entirely): pwlib18 (1.8.4) openh323-115 (1.15.3) Clearly from a ports perspective if all pwlib/openh323 dependant applications can be tested and fixed to work with the Mimas release then we should update straight to it and skip all of this versioning stuff... at the same time committing whatever patches are required to make the applications work and moving from the current statically compiled openh323/pwlib to shared libs. With regards to gnomemeeting... the only source downloads available from their page are: gnomemeeting-1.2.1 (we have 0.98 in ports/net) open323-1.15.3 (Mimas release - latest stable) pwlib-1.8.4 (Mimas release - latest stable) So gnomemeeting (at least the latest version) is designed to work with the latest openh323/pwlib releases as well. The patches on your website are from today so I assume your actively working on this? If so I will provide you with whatever assistance you need in making sure that applications compile and work. If not I'll look at your patches and perhaps use them as a basis for moving forward? Please let me know. -steve
