First, you have submitted the entire port as a sharfile, instead of as a diff to the existing port (as requested via the Porter's Handbook). This make it more time-consuming for ports committers to figure out exactly what has changed. Second, you did not Cc: the port maintainer (unfortunately, GNATS is not capable of doing this); this is seen as a courtesy to the maintainer. Third, if you had done so, you would probably have found out that there is an existing maintainer-update to the port (ports/62877), although it is for the previous version of the distfile; it is in the 'feedback' state because I had problems installing the update. I have not yet heard back from the submitter/maintainer, although it hasn't been that long. Please forward your diffs, as created with diff -ruN, to the maintainer first, and see if you get any feedback; if you wish, you may do that via an update to 62877, which will automatically notify him. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=64058
