The following reply was made to PR ports/74974; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Mike Brown <mike@skew.org> To: Sergey Matveychuk <sem@FreeBSD.org> Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: ports/74974: Update port: textproc/py-xml update to 0.8.4 Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2004 12:38:45 -0700 (MST) Sergey Matveychuk wrote: > Why dont you use 'diff -u' for updates as described in Porter's > Handbook? Please do so. In this case, I needed to remove a file from the port. How would I do that with a diff? The differences in the pkg-plist and pkg-descr were also drastic as to make a diff relatively useless to a human. > And you should set PR class to maintainer-update for your ports. That info was not in the Porter's Handbook, send-pr(1), or anywhere else that I looked, and I looked at the previous PRs for this port and saw that the previous maintainer used update, not maintainer-update, so I followed that precedent. I surmised that perhaps maintainer-update meant that this was a change of who is the maintainer of the port. I apologize for any confusion caused by my update. I am new to porting and this is my first attempt at it. I will have an update for textproc/py-4suite ready soon, but need to know what the preferred manner is of telling you that I need to remove the entire 'files' subdirectory from the old version of the port. Thanks, Mike
