Sounds > probably stupid but how does this work (both the patch and a PR)? OK, I just used the patch and updated the port and all is well. To patch the port Makefile, cd to /usr/ports/net/p5-IO-Socket-INET6 and then place the patch into that directory. You can name the patch anything you like; ie, New_Make for example. Then as a privileged user (root) run: patch <New_Make or whatever you named the patch file. It will back up your existing Makefile and distinfo files. You can give the "patch" command a "-C" flag to see what it will do without actually overwriting anything first if you want. Now, simply update the port; ie, make clean && make deinstall && make reinstall && make distclean. You will probably have to restart anything that depends on that port however for it to take effect. Good luck. For the PR, I usually use the web based mechanism. <http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html>. It is pretty self explanatory. -- Jerry ✌ jerry+ports@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
