Only caveat on your end is your modified pypcap shouldn't interfere with the port of Doug's pypcap. It should install with a slightly different module name so we don't need to set port conflicts and so ports relying on net/pypcap don't see your fork installed and assume net/py-pypcap is installed which may lead to potential breakage. > or > > 2) change the py-pypcap port to point to my version? Additionally, if these changes have been accepted by Doug and you're just waiting for him to do a new release you could just add your patches to the port's patch files. It sounds like you'll be continuing work on your pypcap fork so I don't think this option is as preferable as the first. > I suspect 1 is the more polite way to go? > > Sorry for the confusion. > > Later, > George > tom -- | tmclaugh at sdf.lonestar.org tmclaugh at FreeBSD.org | | FreeBSD http://www.FreeBSD.org | | BSD# http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:FreeBSD |
