Have a look at the PR's which are assigned to Trevor and how long there's absolutely no trace of action from his side. Not mailing the maintainer (by intend or not) *in this case* was right. I even think I will play devil's advocate and give back some of Trevor's ports (at least those with an open PR without feedback from Trevor) back to ports@. A maintainer timeout of ~5 months justifies this. Hey Trevor, this is a "please speak up" for you! > 4) Cruise the source of a previous distribvution, eg gtk2 > looking for URLs for wherever they store their current stuff. Doesn't help in this case, it's a bug in acroread7 and/or bsd.port.mk (depending on your POV). The suggestion in another mail to just install linux-gtk2 by hand is the work-around which has to be used here.
