https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D266977 --- Comment #2 from Yonas Yanfa <yonas.yanfa@gmail.com> --- Hi Fernando, > Could you provide a patch?=20 I cannot provide a patch, as I'm not interested in installing the ports collection. > Maintainers are notify when a new version of the software is available (u= nless we tell portscout otherwise) so there is usually no need to open a PR= for that I've found many ports that are not kept up-to-date and that creating a PR is the best way to get the port updated. If you're looking for a better solution, the FreeBSD ports infrastructure should: 1. Automatically upgrade ports to the latest version without manual intervention 2. Automatically test ports before publishing #2 would require all port maintainers to create tests as a requirement for approving new ports and avoiding deprecation of old ports. Common automated test criteria could include: 1. `service <name> [enable/setup/start/stop]` all work. 2. If `service <name> setup` is required, it must be mentioned in the post install message. 3. command-line program works - eg. `program --version` outputs a version string. 4. HTTP REST APIs works, if present. 5. Built-in test suites run successfully. 6. A simple test program works - eg. creating accounts / databases / etc. With these automated tests, we should be more confident in shipping packages without the need for manual testing, which currently isn't happening consistently, and keep up with faster release cycles. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
