First, you didn't need to send this to -ports. Then, you could have been a bit more polite. Finally, as a long time FreeBSD user and smart person, you could have used the usual way to report such a problem using send-pr or its web front-end. -- Florent Thoumie flz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD Committer *********************************** oh yea chastise me instead of Marc G. Fournier who was the rude person. I posted to ale@freebsd.org maintainer instead of posting a send-pr when this is not a problem but a question and I was giving him a opportunity to explain him self first. Situation looks like the maintainer made error and replaced all the php ports long description contents with his default content. Hopefully the maintainer can reverse his error and repopulate with the original ports long description content. Even if original php ports long description content were blank, loading it with the content he did is waste of disk storage space.
