Reply to bug-followup@ leaving the subject intact. Usually it is "Re: ports/XXXXX <description>" which is enough to get it routed into the correct PR. You can attach your new patch directly to that mail and it will be handled properly. I think it takes most people a few times of trial and error to get it right, so don't feel bad. I know I opened a few PRs by mistake that way. :) -- WXS _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
