The following reply was made to PR ports/127743; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Stefan Walter <stefan@freebsd.org> To: "Eric L. Chen" <d9364104@mail.nchu.edu.tw> Cc: GNATS <FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org>, steve@energistic.com, mi@aldan.algebra.com Subject: Re: ports/127743: Update devel/pwlib net/opal net/ekiga to GNOME 2.24.0 Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2008 09:20:22 +0200 Hi Eric, please note that it might be a better idea to send a problem report for every single port to be updated, not a single PR updating multiple ports. That makes it easier to track feedback for every update, especially since multiple port maintainers are involved. Furthermore, the preferred form of an update of an existing port is a patch in unified diff format, not a shar archive, since that makes it easier to see what exactly changed. I'd recommend that you resend the updates as patches in separate PRs. If the update of one port depends on the update of another one, just send the PRs in the appropriate order and make a note in the description field which PRs have to be processed first. I have cc'd the two port maintainers involved here, anyway, just to raise their attention to what's currently in [1]. Regards, Stefan [1]: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/127743
