Okay.  So I followed the instructions on updating at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/port-upgrading.html, and during the process updated the checksum file with 'make makesum' and ran the suggested install/deinstall/reinstall/etc tests. Everything worked fine, so I sent in the result of 'diff -ruN vee.bak vee' in through send-pr.

So is that about it? Also, I mentioned in the report that I'd like to be the maintainer for the port, but would like to reiterate it.

Thanks - this was pretty fun and the replies I got were very helpful.

Cheers,
Brett
