You sort of answered what I meant. It was just a first name, so I had no idea how to contact that person. Most ports that have not seen action in a while, not that this was the case, I did not look at the history, have an email address where I can contact. I had no idea where to go to contact the maintainer, because it was just a first name. Or is it that when you run `port info` on it, it will expand the name out to the email address? >> Do I take over these ports, or just update them and submit them? > > exif is maintained by Simon, so if you want to take it over, you should > discuss that with him.

They did for me after a selfupdate and getting the new versions, so perhaps it was the version that did not want to build on 10.6.
