Has this actually been commited to > Current? ATM the port has a simple IGNORE line that does not consider the version under which it will be run. As Tijl mentioned, http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=127839 would remove the IGNORE, but it has yet to be accepted by the port maintainer. If you are running a system with the needed patches, just delete the IGNORE line in the Makefile. I do suggest that the patch make the IGNORE dependent on the OSVERSION so it will continue to be IGNORE for versions where it won't work (until supported versions all work). I belive patches for HEAD, RELENG_7 and RELENG_6 have all been developed, so this may be moot if the commits are actually made. -- R.
