Submit a PR (using either the send-pr command or the web page ( http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html) Set the PR as an "Update" Make the subject one that makes it clear that the PR is an update to a new version of the port The format of the content of the "fix" depends on its size. The Porter's Handbook discusses this. If the maintainer does not respond in a couple of weeks, you might want to raise the topic on ports, but ports committers are seriously backlogged, so, even if the maintainer approves the fix (or a modified version of it), it may take a while to get it committed. (Maintainers generally are NOT committers.) -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer, Retired E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com
