have ports that are severely out-dated: sysutils/dunst is behind 5 releases, nearly a year old. x11/rofi is behind 4 releases, more than a year old.There were some others too, but these are the ones I remember. I was under the impression that ports were kept fairly up to date. I am also aware that this is volunteer work and someone might have to be nudged. Can someone point me to thecorrect approach here?
Your best approach to this sort of thing is to file a pr(1) against the offending
ports, via bugzilla: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
In addition, there are quite a few projects that I have relied on development Git checkouts of, but no such port exists for those (except editors/emacs-devel), as well as some strangely missing ports ((Perl 6/Raku's reference implementation: Rakudo). I started reading the Porter's Handbook, and I hope to soon begin a longjourney of maintaining such ports.
Thank you! :-)
Thank you, Michael Fiano
