Google also did not turn up any docs. OK, so I see this was committed without advance warning (i. e. HEADS-UP mail here) and without fixing dependent ports - breaking bogofilter because it cannot satisfy its dependencies any longer. Please remember to notify the maintainers of dependent ports ahead of time so they can tell whether the updated library will have to live on in a separate port or whether dependency lines in their own ports must be updated. The GSL update falls into the latter category. GSL 1.4 has these dependent ports according to /usr/ports/INDEX: audio/p5-Audio audio/snd cad/gmsh french/gibi french/homard mail/bogofilter mail/bogofilter-qdbm mail/bogofilter-tdb math/PDL math/p5-Math-GSL math/py-gsl math/ruby-gsl math/yacas These will, unless already happened, need to be updated to require gsl.6. The bogofilter fix is in PR ports/68741. -- Matthias Andree Encrypted mail welcome: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95 (PGP/MIME preferred)
