I have no idea how easy that would be.

There is the implicit assumption that a patch that updates boost for all the dependent ports should also provide fixes if those ports fail to build after the update. That is the major task. > Or am I too simple in thinking this? No. The normal way would be to provide the patch, testbuild all the depends, list the broken ports in the PR and then a small group of folks can try to fix them one by one. -- p...@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 Now what ? _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
