1) Do not commit changes against trunk.
you're confused (and so am I). I use svk, it has improved merge support and adds the svk:merge property on trunk/ when I merge things in.
A) The email subject lines are totally non-descriptive, reading "[change#] trunk" instead of "[change#] trunk/dports/gnome/ libgnomekbd" as it would if the commit was done in that port's directory instead of in trunk.
Indeed, but that's a bug/feature of SVN::Notify.
B) Committing a change in trunk means that you commit every single change you have in the ports tree, not just an atomic change against 1 port. (See para 2 below).
Not necessarily (and I actually committed this change from within the SilverCity port directory and I thought that svk only listed my change to the Portfile).
2) The log message reads: "Version bump, update SilverCity to 0.9.7 (fixes #11552, thanks ecronin@gizmolabs.org)" So just what in the h___ are all these patch files against libgnomekbd then? I would not be asking this question if these were committed with comments indicating what the changes do or why I should want them. (See para 1.B above).
I'm not sure why svk decided to add those files (I haven't done any work on any gnome ports). I have no idea where they came from either (are they perhaps old patch files that for some reason svk decided to resurrect?). I'm sorry I somehow mistakenly added these files to your port, (fortunately they don't really do anything as there's not a patchfiles line in the Portfile) I'll remove them. -- Daniel J.
