Comment(by blb@…):

 Replying to [comment:7 ross@…]:
 > `webhttrack-macports-2.diff` has been submitted to the upstream
 maintainer of httrack, who says that it will be included in the next
 release. I didn't add it to patchfiles because my understanding was that,
 if it's been accepted as an upstream patch, we wait until the next release
 rather than modifying the port. Is that right?

 That's up to you (as maintainer), but usually if there's a problem with a
 port and you do know how to fix it, it makes sense to fix it now, then
 just remove the patch when there's a new upstream version which fixes it.

 > Also, in testing the webhttrack patch, I found a segfault problem in the
 http server it starts (htsserver), so there needs to be some deeper
 investigation. I suggest holding off on any changes to the port at this
 point.

 That's a good reason to otherwise hold off on it, however.
