Sorry if I offended you, but your Description field is highly unclear. In general it is better not only establish a fact that the problem exist but provide possible solution in the form of a patch or verbal explanation as well. > =(as well as your previous ports/18388). > > This was a submission of a NEW port.

OOPS, it was definitely my fault - I had been mislead by the bz2 extension and supposed that this is distfile's URL. Sorry. Anyway using bzip2 for port submission is impractical (at least until your port is less than 2-3MB long ;) since bzip2 is not part of the base system yet. > = Also I'm unclear why this PR should be confidential???? > > Oops, that was a mistake.
