If you want, I'll get into a commit war and take it back. You'll = win. >=20 Ports need maintainers. It is standard practice to deprecate ports without a maintainer, though usually after a much longer time frame. We can either do this right away or let this rot for that period and waste time on the package build cluster. Portmgr's who have weighed in on this are in agreement that the port never should have been committing and dropped like it was, and there is growing consensus that it should just be deleted. So I've marked it deprecated. It's also questionable why we need this at all since it is in base already and is not receiving updates. If we had a packaged base system it would perhaps make sense to have a port, but we're not there yet. I have not seen any valid justification for the port in the first place. Also, there are no "laws" here except for the CoC. There are only conventions and guidelines, and portmgr has the ultimate say over ports as a whole. This clearly was committed/dropped against the spirit of the conventions, regardless of any pedantic reading of any guideline. --=20 Regards, Bryan Drewery --ucHSeIkhxVWJpa6xr5Ii32TBekF3fcswp-- --emG2rOEqtsG9x0fvgrKJwpB6pxExPDw9S Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - https://gpgtools.org iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJX2aiHAAoJEDXXcbtuRpfP4HQIAKLvt/mWDp/nJiElYSR3YTlW k0UrXKCVlPC/cNiPMi2Yaiz5ajCxJccZlOFjCIWXd8hPlywJK14Nw0j1vx8JL5yW VbXrmZxmcIGLwSI8g8FnT0i4MillxwqJtYWwVbELBIKj/zgMqFu6/Ulcp0IhDpXi ZsLNg6D5zIAq4Q5NJ+2euqql3WpMbwPKpIsMytL09WzrJjRx72b5Q5x8fSbpoDie PcTegx6A9grbkKBtVk/MRB4jRezWQeK+p5CW0/qJorU7pZyYutQv/dibKINn0RRk DOV8uO22S+KZGuYiOisobA4AOnZnAuEhZFdpW1/Qu7shZJn6AmZoVmWXqo4MuVM= =MMc8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --emG2rOEqtsG9x0fvgrKJwpB6pxExPDw9S--
