--- Comment #6 from Charlie Li <vish...@freebsd.org> ---
The discussion with fluffy@ about the consideration of taking a port away from
an active maintainer who is a committer needs to be public, especially since
the maintainer was not publicly involved in that discussion. I as a desktop@
member am not comfortable with having this port dumped on us without at least
the current maintainer's explicit consent, regardless of timeout.
The reason why sunpoet@ has not approved cmake usage previously, and is
unlikely to be approved still, is because upstream's build/install
documentation does not mention it *anywhere*, let alone the Unix section:
https://curl.se/docs/install.html The first step to maybe making cmake
palatable is to not only document it as such, but more importantly endorse it
over the current documented process for Unix-like platforms which is autotools,
officially upstream. Everything else, including any technical arguments, is
irrelevant.
curl.se is the canonical home of the project and is where the release tarballs
live, so it should still be the primary MASTER_SITES.
Anything can slip through the cracks regardless of maintainer type, I don't see
how dumping this on desktop@ helps things. The current process of suggesting
changes to the maintainer works as intended, even if they are not approved and
later reverted.
