Yes Bill, you are right. With some help, I already update a port (imgseek) Do I need to be the maintainer of Openssh to submit a PR with a diff?

If you hit specific problems, post the details of where you get stuck to the list and I'm sure others will help out. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
