Hi all, I haven't got all the mails in this thread so far because I haven't been subscribed to ports@ in a while. I'll try to reply to what I've read in the archives so far. I'm subscribed again now so I will get followups from here on without people having to Cc me. On Mon, Nov 12, 2007 at 03:3

what's the difference between devel/cvsps and devel/cvsps-devel?

Well, not much it seems... except that the cvsps-devel port has not been updated since 2005. It looks like the cvsps-devel port is redundant. Should I file a PR? Here's a diff between the two: diff -urN cvsps/CVS/Entries cvsps-devel/CVS/Entries --- cvsps/CVS/Entries Fri Oct 12 13:39:25 2007

quick fix for graphics/libpng

I just ran into not being able to install anything that depends on libpng because of the recently discovered security vulnerabilites: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/portaudit/172acf78-780c-11dc-b3f4-0016179b2dd5.html I scooped up a quick patch to upgrade the port to libpng-1.2.22rc1, which apparentl
