--4dIe/AmYstFUGHTF Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Good afternoon list! I set out this morning to do a big rmport on the ruby* ports that were marked as DECPREACTED[1], and started going down deeper and deeper into the proverbial rabbit hole. Ruby 1.8.7 is no longer officially supported upstream as of the end of June, 2013[2] I would like to see 1.8.7 marked as DEPRECATED, sooner than later, so the balance of ports can either be given the attention they need to build with 1.9.x, or removed outright. I propose setting the EXPIRATION_DATE=3D2013-11-01 so the remainder of the cleanup can be performed. I have already commenced altering some dates for the removal of the deprecated ports, to expire in unison with other removals [3] [4], and will work down the list of dependencies until I have silenced rmport enough to complete the job. Thanks for your time and attention to the matter.
