deprecated because: API no longer supported

build errors: none.
overview:http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=x11&portname=etoile
The entire etoile is being ripped out for a reason of "API no longer
supported"... Could the powers that be elaborate, what this means,
please? Which API?
The version in ports is 0.4.1. Visiting the project's web-site
(http://www.etoile-project.org/) shows version 0.4.2 available since
April. Thanks!
you are more then welcome to adopt them.
without anyone maintaining them (ports@ is a default, means no
maintainer, old maintainer dropped it)
There won't be anyone updating these either.
Do you use it? Do you need it?
grab maintainership and update away.
Extremely important to you commercially? but don't have the time to
maintain it?
some readers of this group can be bribed by paypal or amazon gift lists ,,
(no, not me)
if nobody maintains a port, eventually, it gets into disrepair. and
then gets deleted.
