Help needed with GUI for devel/gdb6

Overly aggressive obsoleting of ports (Re: FreeBSD ports which are currently scheduled for deletion)

The two examples below strike me as particularly aggressive. Speaking as someone working for a web-hosting group in a major company, I can tell authoritatively, that -- had we used FreeBSD over there -- we would've found having to upgrade this way unbearable. We use Red Hat, which emphasizes stabi

Downloading DISTFILES from multiple locations in parallel (torrent or ...)?

Has anybody given the idea any thought? Though in addition to the "upstream" MASTER_SITES, there is a (fast) collection of FreeBSD mirrors, the downloads currently aren't happening in parallel -- they are serial... One solution would be for the downloader (fetch(1) or whatever) to try to open mult

Application-authors using maven tend to rely on the tool to download -- at build-time -- the third-party JARs their application needs to build and/or run. The number of such downloads can be substantial. For example, to build jruby from source (which the port is not currently doing), mvn downl
