I hope this isn’t too dumb a question -- I’d like to test a patch to an existing port to see if it fixes a problem I’m having. I copied the Portfile to a directory in a local repository, put the patch in the files subdirectory, and added a “patchfiles” line to the Portfile. But when I try to build the port, port tries and fails, naturally, to download the patch from the server. How do I tell it not to download the patch file?
What I’m trying to do is to apply this patch (https://github.com/GNOME/pango/commit/8133eceab8598cd00da2980cb3760ee2fe869ddb) to pango. Thanks. -- Steve
