Hi, I have recently forked and updated k9copy. It now builds with the current developmental releases of ffmpeg. I intend to keep making improvements to the project and I would like to see it get into the ports tree. I have written and tested a ports Makefile, pkg-plist, etc. However, I do not know whether the correct procedure in this situation (seeing as it is technically a fork), would require that I ask and wait for a response from the current maintainer of k9copy (in the ports tree as k9copy-kde4) or if I should submit it as a new port. The current one in the ports tree is release 2.3.4, the last of the original developer's releases was 2.3.8. Please, let me know what is the proper way to handle this. Thank you, 321eniluap
