[Puneet Kishor]

I had entered a new ticket requesting an upgrade of PDL to the latest version (2.4.9). I am wondering, if I want to tackle this task, how do I go about learning the ins and outs of it? I am assuming I would have to learn the basics of the portfile system, and then figure out what portions of the existing portfile would have to be upgraded. What is the best way to proceed?

Many thanks,

Puneet.
