Just follow the instructions on that page, and your patch will be submitted to the PR system. The port maintainer reviews your PR, makes the necessary change and possibly updates the port's revision number. You then use portupgrade or some other means to install the new version of the port with the incorporated patch. Hope that helps, Greg - -- Greg Larkin http://www.FreeBSD.org/ - The Power To Serve http://www.sourcehosting.net/ - Ready. Set.
