The current svn port fixes a lot of known problems (also for HEAD) so
I hope we could update the port before the port freeze. But there are
still two issues which should be looked at first:
- Patch files/patch-include-iprt-stdint.h fixes build on amd64. It
works but I think it is not fixed the right way. This patch needs some
review.
- Some users reported problems updating virtualbox with portmaster
(same problem with devel/kBuild). Unfortunately I hadn't time to
verify this yet.
