Hi, I see that sysutils/dunst was upgraded today. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=260918 Don't know why it was upgraded to 1.7.0 instead of the latest release 1.7.3.
Created a PR for x11/rofi. Waiting for the maintainer. Untested, I don't use this myself. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=260925 Regards, Ronald.

Your best approach to this sort of thing is to file a pr(1) against the offending ports, via bugzilla: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi > > In addition, there are quite a few projects that I have relied on > development Git > checkouts of, but no such port exists for those (except > editors/emacs-devel), as > well as some strangely missing ports ((Perl 6/Raku's reference > implementation: > Rakudo).
