On March, four months ago, after a python upgrade, I sent a pr about
multimedia/libkate (pr=155280) because the dependency of the port from python
was missing.
I tried repeatedly to contact the maintainer asking about the pr without luck.
Without considering the fact that, looking at Makefile in cvsweb, it seems
that he just did the first commit in 2008 and that there is a new version of
libkate since 2010-08-10!
According to this web page:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/makefile-maintainer.html
it seems to me that you now have the right to have your changes
committed without the maintainer's approval.
So I also proposed to add a knob to *optionally disable* libkate in
audio/vorbis-tools - using an option yet offered in vorbis-tools configure-
which is the only port depending on libkate together with
multimedia/ffmpeg2theora (which has been last touched by anders on 2008-08-04).
The pr has been closed stating the if there is a problem with libkate it
should be fixed, and I can mostly agree with that, but:
- it seems that no one has tried to fixed it
- in any case, one may want to have vorbis-tools and not necessarily libkate,
which seems unmantained
Which PR was this?
I understand your frustration because I have been through similar
experiences. But recently I have been added as a committer. Since I
empathize with you, I'll look into this and see what can be done.
