Sadly true that it's gone on so long this way. Because of the sweeping nature of this change, I suggested in the 'Fix' for ports/28155 that a heads up be delivered to port maintainers a week or two before the patch is committed. Too bad there's no notion of -current/-stable for ports, but I'm sure that's a sore subject. I assume that question was for the rest of portmgr@, not me - a lowly FreeBSD peon. But it sounds fine to me since we've been running with the patch committed in our local tree now for months. I also have patches for various ports, but I've withheld from submitting PRs/patches until DESTDIR and PREFIX are treated properly in bsd.port.mk Thanks for looking into it.
