Excuse me if this is an impertinent question, but could someone please tell
me why the FreeBSD port of yelp has not been updated since Sept 28, 2010?

I ask because, as it happens, there was a small but critical change made
to one of the files in yelp quite along time ago, and in the absence of
this small change, the built-in Help functionality of gthumb, evince,
braceros, and dog only knows how many other Gnome applications simply
will not work.

The change in question is as follows:


*** yelp.desktop.in.in-20100803124138	2010-08-03 12:41:38.000000000 -0700
--- yelp.desktop.in.in	2012-05-10 04:39:24.000000000 -0700
