Hi,

I have an active port (sysutils/mkdesktop) which I maintain myself.

A few days back, I had to upgrade the port from 1.6 to 1.7 so as to 
reflect new names of kde4 packages.

I seem to have completely lost memory of what I have to do to get the 
port updated properly in FreeBSD ports. Can someone be kind enough to 
guide me what steps are needed for updating one's own port?

My port uses GitHub and is located at:
https://github.com/bourne-again/mkdesktop

Essentially, I have an updated Makefile/distinfo which I need to get 
merged into FreeBSD ports.

I have updated the shar attachment for the port at the URL where the 
port was originally submitted:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=221370

But it has been a few days since the shar attachment was updated, and 
fetch continues to get the outdated versions of files for the port.

Is there anything else I should be doing to get the updated version of 
the port synced into FreeBSD mainstream ?

Thanks for any help.
Manish Jain
