Hi John, I made a similar post about a month ago, and then took over geneweb port maintainance to fix the breakage. I submitted an update PR a month ago: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=174068&cat= however it's not been acted upon. I emailed a couple folks, but was told I need to be patient, that some committer will eventually pick it up. The "system" seems broken in that there is this huge backlog of PRs that get handled in seemingly random order. Allowing port maintainers to perform commits to their own ports seems a sensible fix, and something that svn is capable of. My PR 174068 was to update geneweb to 6.05 since 6.06 was not yet out. I included an rc script for startup, but I did not see any dependency upon ocaml-lablgtk2. Can you point out to me where that dependency comes from? Something new in 6.06, perhaps? Can you take a look at the patch included at the above URL and let me know what you think? Thanks, Alex
