I am going to commit the original pr (which is just a one like change, and pav committed the last makefile, so lart him too!) Not sure how I would think of pav as an luser... ..... I am going to commit it, and work with both maintainers and see if we can't come up with something for the future. (I have also seen where there is a comment in the main Makefile that says "please sync portrevision in port x and commit" (then you are on the hook for two broken ports) -- Michael Scheidell, CTO >*| * SECNAP Network Security Corporation d: +1.561.948.2259 w: http://people.freebsd.org/~scheidell
