Twiddle with some maintainer values: I no longer use devel/readline, and there are open PRs I have been unable to look at for some time. Take the orphan port devel/newfile Take www/linux-f10-flashplugin11: I would like to handle updates to this port, vuxml, and generally be aware of major changes. No objections were raised when I asked on emulation@2f3bfa2747

Return laszlof's ports to the pool due to lack of time. Hat: portmgr238940659f
Add new vender patches that addresses several bugs: readline52-002: Readline neglects to reallocate the array it uses to keep track of wrapped screen lines when increasing its size. This will eventually result in segmentation faults when given sufficiently long input. readline52-003: When moving the cursor, bash sometimes misplaces the cursor when the prompt contains two or more multibyte characters. The particular circumstance that uncovered the problem was having the (multibyte) current directory name in the prompt string. readline52-004: When restoring the original prompt after finishing an incremental search, bash sometimes places the cursor incorrectly if the primary prompt contains invisible characters. readline52-005: When rl_read_key returns -1, indicating that readline's controlling terminal has been invalidated for some reason (e.g., receiving a SIGHUP), the error status was not reported correctly to the caller. This could cause input loops. readline52-006: The readline display code miscalculated the screen position when performing a redisplay in which the new text occupies more screen space that the old, but takes fewer bytes to do so (e.g., when replacing a shorter string containing multibyte characters with a longer one containing only ASCII). readline52-007: An off-by-one error in readline's input buffering caused readline to drop each 511th character of buffered input (e.g., when pasting a large amount of data into a terminal window).0059ee4621

New Port: devel/readline-4.3 libreadline is out of date in base (both -STABLE and 5.x) HEAD is the only version thats up to date. This port is only temp (to make quftp work) until libreadline is updated. Actually I'm hoping that the submitter will keep maintaining this PR so that people will have the choice to update their readline libs. Maybe it could support LIBREADLINE_OVERWRITE_BASE ?
