 Hi Eric,
 
 please note that it might be a better idea to send a problem report for
 every single port to be updated, not a single PR updating multiple ports.
 That makes it easier to track feedback for every update, especially since
 multiple port maintainers are involved.
 
 Furthermore, the preferred form of an update of an existing port is a
 patch in unified diff format, not a shar archive, since that makes it
 easier to see what exactly changed.
 
 I'd recommend that you resend the updates as patches in separate PRs. If
 the update of one port depends on the update of another one, just send the
 PRs in the appropriate order and make a note in the description field
 which PRs have to be processed first.
 
 I have cc'd the two port maintainers involved here, anyway, just to raise
 their attention to what's currently in [1].
 
 Regards,
 Stefan
