(I fetched a new tarball, saw the difference mentioned, unpacked each, & did a recursive diff. Such date-stamps were the only changes; there were about a dozen of them.) I've sent the author a reminder of how this stuff works, a request to be notified if he changes the tarball for any reason at all, and a request to let me know when the tarball for GPSMan 6.3 is stable. I also stated that I wouldn't be sending in the updated information (to allow the port to build ) until I got the above information from him. I'll submit another follow-up with the revised patch once that happens -- unless there really are substantiative changes between then & now, in which case I'll request that this PR be closed & I'll file a new one. I don't expect the latter to happen, but stranger things have. :-} (I also suggested to the author that there might be some value if he were to publish such validity-checking information as the tarball's size and MD5 checksum on the Web page for fetching it. We'll see what happens.) Thanks again; sorry for the hassle. Peace, david (current hat: astro/gpsman maintainer) -- David H.
