There may be two possibilities for each port, but there may be more. I was working on on port, multimedia/mp4v2, the was hosted on Google Code. It was a while ago to GitHub, but was moved twice by two people. Which one is "official"? One has had a release since the move. The other has had patches, but no new release. Which to use? More prosaically, most of these distros are cached on FreeBSD servers. At least the port I was working on has had the BROKEN removed and is downloading the tarball from that cache. As long as no security issues are found, that looks like the best interim solution. If it ain't broke, don't fix it and don't say that it's broken. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
