The process for updating a port (github or otherwise) is generally: 1. Change PORTVERSION in port Makefile 2. Run make makesum to update distfiles 3. Attempt port build to determine if it works, and if the files it installs has changed 4. Update pkg-plist with any changes to installed files (make makeplist). 5. Final testing/QA/QC and commit or submit bug report with patch if you are not a committee Regards, Ben -- -- From: Benjamin Woods [email protected] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
