how to make a patch

[Ivan "Rambius" Ivanov]

Hello,

First, do you have the latest ports tree? If not, it maybe a good idea
to update your ports tree and verify that the bug is still there.
Second, since it concerns the ports be sure to checkThe FreeBSD
Porters Handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/ and
especially Testing Your Port chapter:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/testing.html

I would copy the original unmodified file to a backup copy, fix the
file and then diff the modified file and the backup copy.

You should submit a Problem Report as described here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-submitting.html
Every port has its maintainer and they are specified in the port's Makefile.

Rambius
