(Somewhat like ports/net/freebsd-uucp?) This really doesn't matter to me (ports vice base). I was reacting to the "rot of the code" comments. I also don't have a (major) problem that this patch was never committed -- there are other more important things for the committers to work on. :-) I would hope that if these are moved to ports, then (at least) these patches would be applied when the tarballs are created....
