multimedia/libxine (libxine-1.1.19_1) (fetch error)

[John Marino]

I'm new to this mailing list.  Just so I understand what just happened...

1) David Southwell found a problem with the libxine port missing a 
source file
2) He posted what he found here, expecting it to be fixed (presumably 
immediately)

Wouldn't the proper procedure be to document this in a problem report so 
it can go through the established process?  What I can't get a feel for 
is how long it actually takes to process a PR.  So is what David did ok 
for this type of problem, or he is just circumventing the process?

Serious question.

Thanks,
John
