Am I the only one who sees this a bit weird to be committed without a single word from port maintainer and without reference to them in commit message? I don't think version updates fall into blanket approval category, and as a maintainer myself, would like to see no such surprises...

@vsasjason_gmail.com you're right, it would be weird without the maintainer consent, but @adamw has given consent for this on the ports-developer mailing list. This work is to help him out.

[...] I'm not able to pay enough attention to FreeBSD, and I'm falling pretty rapidly behind.
For a few weeks, please do anything you feel is best with anything I normally maintain.

I mentioned that I would and he approved my involvement.

So yes, it's unusual, but not weird.

Thanks for prompt response. Perhaps it makes sense to include commit metaline "Approved by: adamw (email, implicit)" or smth like that.
Sorry for the noise.

It's not a bad idea and I'll do this in future commits. Thanks!
