------=_Part_456_1461114734.1641308182774 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, I see that sysutils/dunst was upgraded today. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=260918 Don't know why it was upgraded to 1.7.0 instead of the latest release 1.7.3. Created a PR for x11/rofi. Waiting for the maintainer. Untested, I don't use this myself. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=260925 Regards, Ronald.
