Kurt, we're asking porters to justify why a particular software is ported. We also don't normally question the usefulness of a port on its own or based on surveys either. So can we please stop this useless distraction and stop killing the porter's motivation, and instead see to get the necessary help furnished so the port gets back into good shape? I'd suggest to let Milan work on the port and tell him the constraints - for instance, that now staging needs to be addressed first and then the build-on-10 issue. Milan, if you could share some of the troubles you're encountering, people may be able to help you. Regarding staging, check http://wiki.freebsd.org/ports/StageDir first, then see the porter's handbook - especially the section on the USES features -, and you may also find worth a read, and a current checkout of /usr/ports/CHANGES. If there are C++ troubles that involve std::_1 symbols during link time, the graphics/* ports that I maintain may give some hints to solve them. Milan, feel free to ask questions, that's what the list is for. Other people may have overcome similar challenges that you are facing and be able to share their findings.
