From: Paul Hoffman on 23 May 2010 19:46 Greetings again. A few years ago, I proposed editors/emacs-nox11 and submitted a patch to create it, and thus became listed in the comments at the beginning of the Makefile (but I am not the package maintainer, I believe). Today I got a report that the package does not build; I verified this. I want to help the user, but I have no idea how the change that broke the build was added to the Makefile. How do I find the history so I can find out who added the problematic line and figure out what they actually meant? --Paul Hoffman _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

You can find the CVS history via : - cvsweb at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/editors/emacs-nox11/Makefile - freshports at http://www.freshports.org/editors/emacs-nox11/ Regards, Julien _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

For example: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi?category=&severity=&priority=&class=&state=&sort=none&text=emacs-nox11&responsible=&multitext=&originator=&closedtoo=on&release= Interestingly, the only thing this turns up for emacs-nox11 is the original PR that created the port -- which means any subsequent changes were probably the result of some comprehensive updates each of which affected several ports in one swoop. Or that the people submitting the PR's didn't follow the accepted practice of including category & portname in the subject line. ;) _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

I believe the problem the OP mentioned has been analyzed and a fix will be committed shortly.
