| 50 | I intend to get this written up properly some day, but in the meantime: |
| 51 | |
| 52 | ==== Updating a port ==== |
| 53 | |
| 54 | * Set up an account on http://www.macports.org/ if you have not already done so. Follow the "'''Register'''" link on any MacPorts page (it appears visually in the top right corner). |
| 55 | * Go to the [https://svn.macosforge.org/projects/macports/report Bug Reports page] (you will be asked to log in if you have not done so already) and follow the "New Ticket" link (or [https://svn.macosforge.org/projects/macports/newticket go there directly]). |
| 56 | * Fill out the ticket in accordance with the guidelines in TracTicketing; note the fact that, as of this writing (6 May 2007), notification of a new ticket is ''not'' automatically sent to the assignee of a ticket, so you will need to put the assignee's address into the Cc: field by hand. As mentioned in TracTicketing, also add at least your own email address to the Cc: field so that you are notified about any comments on or changes to the ticket. |
| 57 | * Preview your ticket (you won't be able to change its content after submission, only append to it), and then submit it if you are satisfied. |
| 58 | * '''Attachments:''' you can add or replace these ''after'' the ticket has been submitted by using the "Attach File" button on the ticket once it has been created. |
