If the maintainer is active, he or she will look at your PR and decide whether to apply your patch. Otherwise, you can point to the unattended PR and ask to be made the maintainer yourself. > 2) reponsibility in the pr (dated mar06) and bugmaster is "freebsd-ports", > but the port has a listed maintainer. Is this a bug in gnats? Or is > the makefile outdated and not reflecting something gnats knows? The PR is actually dated not March 6th but May 6th, which is today. Gnats doesn't "know" much, certainly not enough to automagically figure out who the maintainer is and assign PRs--that must be done by a human. I notice that the maintainer just did it for this PR. -- Trevor Johnson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
