Extreme Newbie Help With Modifying Bacula Port to Get 1.36.0

[Drew Tomlinson]

I've never created or modified a port so I'm a complete newbie.  I'm 
using bacula 1.34.6 which is the current version in the ports tree.  
However my HP DLT30 (DLT2000) tape drive isn't working properly with the 
software.  I posted to the bacula list and have been directed to upgrade 
to the current version of 1.36.0.

So I thought, why don't I learn about ports?  After all, it shouldn't be 
to hard to modify a Makefile to get a newer version and then I could 
share my updates with the port maintainer.  I've picked through the 
Porters Handbook and bsd.port.mk and found that I needed to change 
"PORTVERSION=" from "1.34.6" to "1.36.0".  Then I found that I had to 
run "make makesum" to create the distinfo file.

Now when I run "portupgrade -f bacula", it fails during patching (output 
follows).  I suspect that the line numbers have changed and I need to 
create a new diff (something I've never done before).  I suspect I need 
to make a copy of the appropriate file in the source code, make these 
changes to it, and then run diff with the appropriate switches.  However 
I have no idea what file I might be looking for.  Can anyone nudge me in 
the right direction?  Am I close?

Thanks,

Drew

You may use the following build options (or make config):

  WITH_CLIENT_ONLY=yes  if you only want the file daemon.
  WITH_WXCONSOLE=yes    if you only want a wxGTK based GUI console.
  WITH_GNOMECONSOLE=yes if you only want a GNOME based GUI console.
  WITH_MTX=yes          if you want to use mtx instead of chio for 
autochanger control.
