I've added a link from WantedPorts to that mail. Creating duplicate ports for special patches versions of a library is usually fine. We already have that in some cases where some ports depend on a specific version of a library. Some projects also ship modified versions of a dependency in their tree. Good examples for that are multimedia applications depending on ffmpeg. When they do a release their modified ffmpeg sources are included in their source tarball. If that is also the case for zarafa then don't create new ports for that but compile the libraries as part of the zarafa port. -- Bernhard Froehlich http://www.bluelife.at/
