Hi Ion-Mihai,

I just forwarded a message to you (originally sent to beech@) with a
proposed solution to the GraphicsMagick upgrade issue.  I believe
branch-specific port directories will allow the tool to be maintained more
easily, and dependent ports can then choose what version they want to track.

Thank you for the instructions above, and I'll make sure to follow them
prior to submitting any future GraphicsMagick PRs.  I'm setting up a new
tinderbox installation here, and that will help my QA effort greatly.

Regards,
Greg Larkin
