I did make a manual build of 1.9 to be used with ffmpeg-devel, which otherwise cannot be built in the +x265 variant currently. It works.

How can I support here? (I never maintained a package for macports so far, but for Linux).

supposing you just had to grab the new sources and build those taking all dependents from MacPorts:

1) update the version in the x265 portfile. If you don't think you'll be doing this kind of thing regularly you can just do something like port edit x265, but make a back of port file x265 first in that case.

2) save, and execute port -v checksum x265. That will output the new checksums line(s) you'll have to copy into the Portfile you're editing.

If the update was trivial, you should now be able to do

3) sudo port install x265

Presuming that completes without error you then do a unified diff (diff -u) of port file x265 against the backed copy you made, and upload that diff here.
