dmgbuild ports disappeared

[Christopher Jones]

Hi,

Running

 git log -Sdmgbuild

on my clone of the ports repo returns nothing. I hate to disagree with you, but think this means there has never been any relating the dmgbuild in the ports tree, at least as far as the current git history goes back.
