This morning I tried to build and install a port, math/emc2 and received an error message saying there was a size mismatch. As I understand it, this means the upstream source package is now a different size than it was when the emc2 port was created. If I understand correctly, this usually happens when an update has been put in place or, possibly, when a security breach has happened. The emc2 port currently doesn't have a specific maintainer. So I'm curious as to how I can go about fixing this? Should I basically re-create the port and submit it as a PR change request? I know the technicalities of putting together and/or fixing a port, but not the proper protocol for this sort of thing. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. - Jesse
