They are all abandoned ports anyway. I removed them in https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/1602 but there is a debate about whether they shuld have stayed. SO firstly: does anyone use any of the above ports that haven't been maintained in > 10 years, don't hva homepage, don't have a maintainer, and upsstream says not to use them? If so, we might bring them back with the libssl dependency fixed. Jan
