Question re Ticket #14090 (Portfile diff for maven 2.0.8)

[Brian Forte]

Gentlefolk,

quick question from a new-comer.

Is there a timetable for the closing of this ticket:
<http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/14090>?

We're writing a 'how to' for installing maven (and a maven plugin, 
but that's not germain here) on a range of OSes and the OS X 
instructions currently include a 'edit the Portfile thus' section 
(we've tested this, BTW, and incorporating the Portfile.diff changes 
uploaded by miguel at sticknet.net makes 'port install maven' work).

We're also noting said section will be redundant eventually but were 
wondering if we can get away with excising the section entirely.

Alternatively, is there a way I can do the tweaking necessary to 
incorporate the changes and close the ticket myself (I registered a 
login to the macports.org WordPress blog earlier today)?

TIA.

Regards,

Brian Forte.
