What exactly are you looking at ? Git Pull requests can be viewed at https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pulls <https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pulls> and there are certainly examples of both new ports and updates to existing ones. > Advising the port maintainer of a request was also suggested on the web, I > have done so twice in the past weeks with no indication it was ever > recieved let alone being considered. In what manner did you ‘advise the port maintainer’. Sending a mail to this list is not the way. To do so either submit a pull request with the update yourself, or file a ticket in trac requesting an update. https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets <https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets> Pull requests are more likely to get acted on quicker. For a guide to that see for instance https://guide.macports.org/chunked/project.github.html <https://guide.macports.org/chunked/project.github.html> Chris
