It's traditional to send in a PR both setting the MAINTAINER to your own
e-mail address and fixing whatever needs fixing. On the other hand,
simply volunteering to maintain a previously unmaintained port via a
message on this or various other lists has been deemed sufficient in
many cases.
If portscout is picking up apparently more advanced versions which
aren't actually suitable to use, then you can set the PORTSCOUT variable
in the Makefile to help it out. Something like:
PORTSCOUT=3D skipv:4.24.3
(depends on what else is available in the download area) There are also
'limit' 'limitw' and 'ignore' plus a few other verbs. Docco is
available by installing ports-mgmt/portscout
Cheers,
Matthew
