 Hello.
 
 2011/09/18 09:19:20 +0100 Chris Rees <chris@bayofrum.net> => To bug-followup@FreeBSD.org :
 CR> I'm really sorry I missed that PR -- thanks for sending it in :)
 CR> Would you like to maintain math/pari?
 
 So much sorrow from all sides... (=
 
 No, I was just upgrading some system that was used  p5-Math-Pari  perl  module
 and  it  was  the  only  (and  still  is  cause  that  port   is   broken)   a
 show-stopper for me.
 
 I'm not that frequent on the internet since some time (once or twice per week,
 not counting leasure and emergency situations, mostly summer and a big bad hot
 rango 2010 summer in Samara, Russia particularly: I was offline for 2  months)
 and meanwhile trying to fetch ports from cvs as math/pari is among several  of
 them to be used downgraded, ( some of windowmaker  applets  of  my  preference
 were apparently deprecated from ports at 2011-05-02 so I believed  I  can  get
 the any deprecated port on-demand from local cvs ports copy ) but this made my
 deprecated system quite unusable because of the disk i/o as I update locate(1)
 daily and create filesystem snapshots, too.
 
 Needless to say I'm not a C coder or I should  send  a  patch  for  Math::Pari
 else.
 
 Thanks anyway about opportunity ;)
