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
