Done now with PR 221016 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=221016 I have sent in the svn diff file, as I was not able to make the UPDATING update show up in in the shar file. How are you handling the different architectures? Are you testing your ports with each of the FreeBSD supported architectures?

Thanks for pointing this out. It already depends on www/webkit2-gtk3. My working git is here: https://github.com/xkpd3/luakit-port I will update the existing port then.

Both are fine, a) is better if many other ports depend on it, but leaves the old port around (which is not nice). If no or few ports depend on luakit, b) is better. -- p...@opsec.eu+49 171 3101372 3 years to go ! ___ 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"
