The following reply was made to PR ports/169920; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Michael Scheidell <scheidell@FreeBSD.org> To: <bug-followup@FreeBSD.org>, <cartwright@asu.edu> Cc: Subject: Re: ports/169920: Update biology/mafft to latest version Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2012 05:54:13 -0400 --------------060002000803030204010307 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Greetings: Thank you for your submission for biology/mafft. Your work is greatly appreciated. A couple of issues, first: you should read the porters handbook on the FreeBSD.org web site, and join the mailing list 'freebsd-ports'. You will find both of these resources invaluable as you work on this and other FreeBSD ports. Also, you need to product the patch using 'diff -ruN' (needs a unified diff, and -N is just in case) run 'portlint -abmt' after you patch the port, and test to make sure it not only compiles, but packages as well. (and pkg_delete or make deinstall erases all 'new' files) One more thing that you might find helpful. FreeBSD is now using subversion on its ports src tree. You should be able to find information on the porters handbook, and or here to help you use svn for your work. (then, you can just use 'svn diff' ). Once you create a proper patch, you can upload it using a mail client that can handle attachments, to: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org subject: Re: ports/169920: Update biology/mafft to latest version Thanks again for your help.
