1. Easy enough - just change the Portfile with "port edit <portname>", make your changes, test/edit/repeat.
2. The submit process, however, should be a lot easier than it is. Today, you open a new trac ticket and attach your new Portfile asking "can somebody please commit this for me?" In a more ideal world, there would be a "port submit" command which caused far more magical things to happen.
Whatever happened to the "port submit" project initiative anyway? Wasn't that supposed to come about for free with the remote index? :-)

Dev,
Suppose I wanted to upgrade a version of a port with no maintainer,say, http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=pixen, from version 2.2 to 3.0. How might I go about making the change on my local box (leaving the submitting a patch process out for the time being)? Is there a doc you could point me to? I'm familiar with how to perform this task in gentoo, but not yet very familiar with macports.
