If no one steps up claiming to need the port, then good riddance. If on the other hand a user claims a valid use of the port, let them take responsibility for it or find someone who will. Leaving intact ports that either don't build, cannot be fetched, etcetera does not really make a lot of sense.
No disagreement here. Just now I ran a query on freshports and found almost 5000 ports with maintainer=po...@freebsd.org. That's way too many! My search for "popularity" metrics is intended to point me, as a maintainer, to ports I might want to adopt now, rather than wait for someone to complain about them. Everything *I* use is already maintained, so I've moved on to looking for things other people might need. But I don't want to waste my time on something that nobody uses. :) _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
