At the time I thought repocopy was a euphemism for "updating or syncing one port's current files with another", but have come to understand that it is certainly not. I definitely don't wish for the ports to be repocopied, sorry for the confusion! To clarify; the "-devel" release of ircd-ratbox is now considered stable, meaning there is currently no development version available. I've updated irc/ircd-ratbox-devel to the most recent release and meant to ask if the two ports could please be synchronised, such that the deprecated (old "stable") version of the port is updated to the current release branch (by copying irc/ircd-ratbox-devel files over irc/ircd-ratbox and then applying the supplied patch). Thanks.
