Dear all, How can I escalate the issue related to one of the ports? Cmake in ports sets different cflags than the original one. It seems that the comitter who introduced this problem with a patch (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/devel/cmake/files/patch-Modules_Compiler_GNU.cmake?rev=1.1) to the port does not want to do anything with it. There is a PR open (159276). Cmake is widely used in the company I am working for, and now as a FreeBSD user I get cmake that is different from everyone else's, because my default Debug and Release build have empty CFLAGS. Now I have to manually fix these flags back each time I reconfigure my build directories. If nobody cares about this, why not place a big 'we don't care about developers' banner on the main site? -- Igor Soumenkov On Mon, 22 Aug 2011 17:38:44 +0400, igor wrote: >> It a usual practice to close duplicated reports.
