It depends on the nature and extent of the update. I submitted an update to a port that I maintain, and it was committed in under 21 minutes. Conversely, I submitted a patch to one of the general port Makefiles, and that took about 45 days. Even though it was a very small patch, I presume the committers were more cautious with a change that could affect a lot of users. -- Sterling (Chip) Camden | sterl...@camdensoftware.com | 2048D/3A978E4F http://camdensoftware.com | http://chipstips.com | http://chipsquips.com
