Well, I think it's not a big deal that current version exists, if you don't like it or you think it's not suitable for ports collection, please explain it in technical details to maintainer. If maintainer would like to have this port and it's not broken and he's also ready to maintain it further, it's his business, not portmgr. > Why is not vanilla@ asking the maintainer of the baseline port first and > wait a few days before committing? Isn't communication committer policy? Right, that's why ask maintainer privately first, before pouring out a negative emotional stuff on all our heads. > Repeat: bogofilter "current" is NOT suitable to be packaged downstream. > And this is my statement as bogofilter maintainer, not port maintainer. Not all development versions are stable enough, they exist in ports collection though, because people need them for some reasons. If those ports build fine, and are helpful for people, I don't see any reason to remove them. So please remove portmgr from such kind of discussions, and speak with maintainer at first. -Kirill
