The title of the issue could be something like: sysutils/mkdesktop: Update to 1.7 Make sure to upload the diff with the new version of your port. Shar is OK, I guess, but a patch is much much better. The handbook has some useful hints as well probably: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/port-upgrading.html Good luck! Mateusz
