>Description:

As the maintainer of www/mawstats I suggest to set this port to expire on 2014-01-01. I'm no longer going to support and maintain this port for the following reason:

This software, mawstats, started as a TEMPORARY fork of jawstats, but neither jawstats nor mawstats received any update since then. In fact, the author of mawstats abandoned his project and started a complete rewrite. The rewritten mawstats is a set of drupal modules and as such a completely different product than the original mawstats, see https://github.com/asafo/MAWStats.

The committer (i.e. YOU) may, of course, decide to not set an expiration date and instead return the port to the pool ports@freebsd.org. Still, my opinion is to let this port expire and advice people to use www/jawstats or good old www/awstats instead.
