also, update the port to 4.0.6

Why not just upgrade the redmine4 port to the newest 4.x version available?
I'm not in favor creating new ports if it is not really necessary.

The redmine project supports the last 2 versions (ie 4.0.x and 4.1.x). I have no objection to use the latest version.

if this is the case, I would upgrade www/redmine to the newest version and would remove the www/redmine4 port completely.
This makes it for the user much more simple which port to use.

I tried to apply your patch against version 527099, but it fails with conflicts:

Could you update the patch please, that it applies without conflicts?
Thanks.

Weird, it applies without conflicts here:

I wonder why it tries to patch redmine40 in your case:

Please do not replace current www/redmine (3.4) with the new 4.0 version. Many plugins are not compatible. It will do more harm to the users than having two ports to choose from. Create www/redmine4 or if you feel necessary to have 4.0 as www/redmine then please move current 3.4 version in to www/redmine3. This has precedence in other ports too. For example postfix.

As of supported versions - all 3 branches released latest version at the same day:

• 4.1.0 (2019-12-20)
• 4.0.6 (2019-12-20)
• 3.4.13 (2019-12-20)

I really prefer to have both ports (3.4 and 4.0) for some time. Then users will have time to test and adopt to 4.0. But if you put 4.0 in to www/redmine without a huge warning you will break many user's Redmine instances because of uncompatible plugins.

I tested it again and now it works (no idea why), I will do now a test build and if everything is fine, I will commit it.
