     52==== Updating a port ====
     53
     54 * Set up an account on http://www.macports.org/ if you have not already done so.  Follow the "'''Register'''" link on any MacPorts page (it appears visually in the top right corner). 
     55 * Go to the [https://svn.macosforge.org/projects/macports/report Bug Reports page] (you will be asked to log in if you have not done so already) and follow the "New Ticket" link (or [https://svn.macosforge.org/projects/macports/newticket go there directly]).
     56 * Fill out the ticket in accordance with the guidelines in TracTicketing; note the fact that, as of this writing (6 May 2007), notification of a new ticket is ''not'' automatically sent to the assignee of a ticket, so you will need to put the assignee's address into the Cc: field by hand.  As mentioned in TracTicketing, also add at least your own email address to the Cc: field so that you are notified about any comments on or changes to the ticket.
     57 * Preview your ticket (you won't be able to change its content after submission, only append to it), and then submit it if you are satisfied.
     58 * '''Attachments:''' you can add or replace these ''after'' the ticket has been submitted by using the "Attach File" button on the ticket once it has been created.
