I emailed the MAINTAINER about an upgrade (even stating that I have * already created one) but he didn't respond... I was wondering if I could be * made the maintainer of this port, or what the procedure is in these cases. You submit an application, the selection committee will meet you in two weeks and you take an oath at the USENIX if you pass the test. :) Just kidding, there is no standard as to when one can steal the MAINTAINER-ship of another but if he doesn't respond and you're willing to do the work from now on, that's probably good enough. Please take a recursive diff ("diff -Nru") of the old and new directories and send-pr it with category "ports". You should probably CC:it to the old MAINTAINER as one last notice. Please don't gzip + uuencode the diff unless it's truly humongous (which probably won't happen for tinyfugue, it's is only 29KB including CVS dirs now :). Satoshi
