Created attachment 165724 [details] upgrade scons 2.3.0 => 2.4.1 I ran into an aggravating feature of scons where if process that launches it sets setpid(0,0), it just seizes. I hoped that upgrading to version 2.4.1 would fix it, but it still happens. Rather than throw away the work, I'm submitting the patch here. I'm also wondering if you would prefer to reset maintainership back to ports@FreeBSD.org. I'm looking at the commit history, and I see you were passed maintainership on 19 Jul 2010. Since that time, you've been given 8 PRs (7 approved, 1 timed out) but never submitted a PR of your own. Is that correct? Usually a maintainer is the one that actively updates the port rather than act as a gatekeeper.

Not a single update originated from the maintainer himself. Since being a gatekeeper isn't the purpose of a maintainer, I'm going to reset the port on this timeout so that future upgrades can get applied faster than they have been.
