Update needed: misc/dialog

2008-02-18 Thread Zhang Huangbin 

Hi, all.

Will it possible to update the port: misc/dialog?

misc/ports is a old version(0.6z), the newest stable version is 0.7. the
unstable version is '1.1-20071028'.

ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/dialog/dialog_1.1-20071028.orig.tar.gz

0.6z misses some important features, such as '--passwordbox'.

Dialog homepage: http://hightek.org/dialog/



Best regards.

Try updating the version number in the port Makefile and make makesum,
then build the port, make plist and install and test.

There might be more steps needed (sometimes patches will need to be
adjusted; other times the newer version might have changed dependencies,
if you run make port-lib-depends-check this will check for some of
these) but for a simple update this is often all you need.

If it works ok, create a diff (cvs -d [EMAIL PROTECTED] diff -u) and
post it here, and say what machine architecture/s you have tested on
(i386, amd64, sparc64, whatever). You'll find a list of anoncvs servers
on the OpenBSD website.

 gmail is not good at sending diffs without mangling them horribly.

If the diff is named something like foo.txt and *attached* it should
work, should it not? Some (most?) MUAs will even show text/plain
attachments inline, which makes things easier. I don't have a gmail
account so I can't try it out, but that seems like the simplest way
around the problem.

Yet another workaround that ought to be fine:

I use the IMAP settings from gmail to download to evolution, which is
set up for plain text. All the convenience of gmail's labels system,
with the speedier interface of a download client.

I changed the version number, then 'make makesum', 'make package', but
it failed. :(
