Hi, I am the new maintainer of sysutils/logwatch and I never have been a maintainer of any port before. Thus a newbie ;-)
Upstream is releasing new versions twice a year, January and July. I made some contributions to logwatch which have been accepted immediately after the last release in January in order to give some time for testing by the logwatch team members. This is my question: Would it be a no-go if I would patch the current release w.r.t the upcoming release in July this year? Benefit would be: #) Ability to deal with FBSD's 'syslogd -v' <facility.severity> patterns in logfiles if activated [1] #) Discard dependency of a perl module, namely HTML::HTML5::Entities [2] #) Improvement of the dovecot script [3] #) Plus some other minor modifications Thanks in advance, Michael BTW: Would someone capable of committing PR 285078, just a simple bug fix [4]? Very much appreciated.
