We need to be better about announcing these changes as not to frustrate maintainers. :) > Now cvs isn't working, so how, as a port maintainer, do I check out a single > port so I can update it and submit it in a PR? You should do things the same way you did before, but instead you should use svn to checkout out your port. Note that 'module names' no longer work so you must use the full name: e..g., svn checkout svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head/editors/nano It may help to keep a folder of "ports-I-maintain" with the ports you maintain checked out. Before you update them do "svn update *" and to generate a diff do "svn diff foldername" -- Eitan Adler _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
