Hello, thanks for your advices. :) >>> devel/fpp >> >> Whats the next step? Writing a patch to change maintainer? > > In a nutshell: > > 1. Check upstream to see if there's no newer version.

But i'm unsure where to add the entry. There is an entry MASTER_SITE_NETLIB in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk, which definies the url for the distfiles. But if i understand correctly, the MASTER_SITES listed there provide every file from Netlib, not just the single distfile. So how could i add my mirror http://ports.toco-domains.de/fdfpp.tgz to the port? > 4. See if the port has been stagified yet.
