A fair assumption in the circumstances. > but does anyone know when it will be fixed? Shortly after you install it, fix the packing list error, open a PR with the patch and get the patch commited. To help you get started, you can install with DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES to get the files on the system and the app working (which it does), eg. # portupgrade --new --recursive --sudo --verbose --make-args \ DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes print/acroread7 You can now find all the files which were installed and compare them to the packing list, eg. # find /usr/local /compat/linux/usr/local -newer \ /usr/ports/distfiles/acroread/AdobeReader_enu-7.0.0-1.i386.rpm # pkg_info -L acroread7-7.0.0 Now you can fix the port by making a copy of the old one, fixing the packaging list - see PLIST in Makefile and other ports' use of PFILES(+)=, eg. # cd /usr/ports/print # tar -cf acroread7.tar acroread7 # mv acroread7 acroread7-7.0.0 # tar -xvf acroread7.tar # cd acroread7 Fix Makefile (including removing BROKEN and adding PORTREVISION=1) and any other files, test install, deinstall and run "portlint -A" and fix any issues it gives # make clean # cd .. # diff -ruN acroread7-7.0.0 acroread7 > acroread7-7.0.0,1.diff Send the patch (acroread7-7.0.0,1.diff) with send-pr (or gtk-send-pr), to, with or instead of the MAINTAINER (if he does not respond).
