To get this going, find attached a <emphasis>work in progress</emphasis> patch updating curl to 7.29.0, with the following notes: 1) I've moved patch-configure to DONT-patch-configure Note A: You may assist by merging the patch against 7.29.0 Note B: This change means the port doesn't honour debug/opt flags 2) OPTIONS need to be converted to OPTIONSng Note: You can assist by merging the changes from this PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/172325 3) It fails `make test` (from port dir) with regressions: ----------- test 2030...OK (782 out of 784, remaining: 00:00) test 2031...OK (783 out of 784, remaining: 00:00) test 2032...OK (784 out of 784, remaining: 00:00) TESTDONE: 624 tests out of 626 reported OK: 99% TESTFAIL: These test cases failed: 591 1316 TESTDONE: 787 tests were considered during 291 seconds. *** [quiet-test] Error code 1 ----------- You may assist by testing and identifying the causes and providing patches for changes 4) This will require an exp-run when its considered 'ready' 5) I ran the port test with default OPTIONS A final comment that I was inspired to do this because of my desire to improve FreeBSD and the experience of our (my) community, and the satisfaction I get from contributing. A commitment to reporting issues is appreciated (so thank you), and is more than what most do. It is also however, a minimum expectation. Perhaps a more mindful, positive approach to encouraging action from others will garner a higher incidence of favourable responses in the future. I hope my work helps. -- Ta, Koobs
