I have to call bulldust on this. It's just not credible that no port  
updates have been made in the past 3-4 days, especially if committers  
have said they have made changes. Nor is it credible that several  
committers had somehow botched their check-ins so that changes were  
not propagated out. Shortly after this exchange, I ran port sync and  
found 5 ports had been updated.

Whatever, it's fixed now. Is there any way to monitor this, besides  
subscribing to the svn commit feed?
