I'm just thinking; there must be a better way, for all concerned. :) I'll try to set aside some time, and see if I can conceive a more efficient solution, and make a POC (proof of concept) for review. > > In theory we ask committers to make sure there is not an existing PR > for a port, before deleting it. > > You might find portsmon (http://portsmon.freebsd.org) useful for this > task. e.g. see > > http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portoverview.py?category=www&portname=apache24 . Thank you. Yes, That's pretty much how I determined as much as I did for net/spread (ports/188853). > > mcl Thank you, Mark, and sorry for bouncing your mail (unintended).
