I don't care who had this brain fart of adding a new sibling port for a release candidate, outdated on the day it was committed, and with the base port updated a day or two later. This is just stupid. I do care that the outdated bogofilter-current port is going away, and quickly at that. I'm Cc:ing portmgr because they need to hit some committers with a cluestick or revoke commit bits. Why is not vanilla@ asking the maintainer of the baseline port first and wait a few days before committing? Isn't communication committer policy? Repeat: bogofilter "current" is NOT suitable to be packaged downstream. And this is my statement as bogofilter maintainer, not port maintainer. My not updating the bogofilter port had a reason, namely that the code wasn't in shape for deployment. If people want to run bleeding edge versions, they should compile from CVS or tarball and read the lists. Please kill the bogofilter-current port, preferably including the CVSROOT stuff.
