Not all Ports must have one maintainer. Please not so simple deprecate good Port. When is games@ team full released all ports@ games is good to move to games@. No problem for all to update this only to sent one email and get approval This is good for all other team@ I have already adopted more ports@ mostly games but to others Have just checked all deprecated games Ports This Ports have Upstream which is alive games/crossfire-server games/tinymux This are old good cult games and needed games/sokoban games/xbattle games/xkoules games/xvier Have too checked graphics These Ports have Upstream which is alive graphics/maverik a bit older graphics/xmorph This is old one from libpng graphics/tiff2png This are old one, but someone perhaps need it graphics/claraocr graphics/dc20ctrl graphics/kdc2tiff graphics/opendis graphics/plotmtv graphics/qvplay graphics/xmfract -- Best regards, Rusmir Dusko
