So what the point to hold some istring thingy, that doesn't install istring? You can check this with python (example from README): >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: >>> from neo.istring import istring Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named istring or you just can read pkg-plist to see that there is no any istring. Conclusion: - port is unmaintained, - upstream is disappeared (distfiles are hosted on FreeBSD ftp), - library is broken, - nobody depends on it in the ports tree so it's safe to remove that.
