I don't understand you. In my experience, the netpbm ports have always been updated fairly regularly. The ports currently have: STABLE_PORTVERSION= 10.26.64 DEVEL_PORTVERSION= 10.35.80 10.26.64 is the last of the 10.26 series and was released almost exactly 18 months ago. 10.35.80 is the current "stable" version and was released about 5 weeks ago. The port was updated the day following the release. >What's making things is worse is the fact that the netpbm >ports don't include any documentation.

I agree this is annoying and don't understand the rationale behind the way netpbm documentation is handled but that is not the FreeBSD maintainer's fault. >Is anybody working on updating the netpbm ports?
