Many thanks Ryan, * The ticket number is 11924 and the port has no maintainer. The patch is simply a change to the name of downloaded files and checksums * On a related note ... I'm moving systems from linux to mac and am a heavy user of python. There are very few ports in the python25 group --- how do I go about submitting new ports for libraries to this group? (which will generally be copies of the python24 port but with different dependents) Alternatively, the existing ports could have a python25 variant added? Should I get in contact with mww@macports.org who appears to be the maintainer on many of the existing python24 ports. * Is there any way of listing all ports with a given PortGroup (as opposed to category)? derek.

What is the process for reporting/fixing a bug in a port? Is it just to open a ticket on macports.org with details of my patch? (I've done this).
Yes, do that, and put the maintainer's email address in the Cc field. If the port has no maintainer, notify this mailing list of the ticket number. Otherwise, it may take awhile for someone to notice the bug on their own.
