The following reply was made to PR ports/15094; it has been noted by GNATS.

I think there might have been a misundertanding. Where written author, read the distfile's author, not the port's author. My mistake. Anyway, I've already submitted twice the update to both authors, but none replied. Knowing that both authors' work is volunteer, I waited about 1 1/2 weeks for a any sort of reply. As none arrived, I considered appropriate the submition of a PR. I know that I could/should have waited more but the submition of the PR would give the port's author a pointer in case his unreachable state was due to a communication/network problem between our parts. If this is not due process, I apologize. If so, please advise me so that I won't commit the same mistake twice as I plan to contribute more actively in the future. I can insist with the author if you prefer but if you add the 1 1/2 weeks to the time this PR waited for processing, enough time elapsed for some sort of response.
