I have been asked many times by the bitchx dev that it would be better to create a -devel and leave the port as is I have done my attempt to revert back to bitchx 1. and create a bitchx-devel Fix: Patch attached with submission follows:
Class Changed From-To: maintainer-update->change-request Fix category (new ports should be change-requests) (via the GNATS Auto Assign Tool)
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->wxs I'll take it.
State Changed From-To: open->closed Committed. Thanks!
