Hi! Hmmm that is extremely weird... I did not get e-mail from the mailing list to myself like AT ALL, but you seem to have gotten it? Unless you are a moderator, one of the following things is probably happening: OpenBSD's @ports mailing list for some reason did not send me my own e-mail (if this the case, it's most likely the case of censorship and you as the moderator approved it manually, OR something related to me being banned or whatever?) 2nd thing could be that autistici.org, the e-mail service provider that I use, is buggy and/or throttling me. Now to get to your answer: I already said that I tried this, except it was a manual file change 1 by one (downloading from cvsweb because me lazy). Perhaps by not working is what you meant by "a little bit messy"... THIS is one of reasons as to why use as few dependencies as possible, if any. I, myself, NEVER depended on ANY dependency so far, except SOMETIMES standard libraries such as stdint.h . Of course libraries such as those related to cryptography might be best left to thoes who do such things every day. "Developers" these days unfortunately depend too much on other people's projects. Updating all dependencies recursively to -current is also a idea that I don't even want to dream of. Original e-mail can be found in attachments.
