I edited the portfile to use 4.4.6, changed the checksum, but, of course, the patches don't apply. I'm not sure who the maintainer is. I see that the Portfile itself indicates "n3npq@mac.com", but that the last source control tag is "blair@macports.org". I've emailed n3npq. Should I email blair as well?
If you look at the revision log, you'll see that blair's changes were not really relevant to the content of the portfile. http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/log/trunk/dports/ sysutils/rpm/Portfile n3npq is the maintainer and is responsible for the port's content. However, because it's not an @macports.org address, it's reasonable to guess that this person does not have commit access and cannot therefore make their own changes in the port.
