Subject:   What to do with inn-stable?

I recently took over maintenance of news/inn-stable from Andreas. I
haven't had time to do anything with it yet, and now it won't build
because the distfile isn't around any more.

I can of course update the port to the latest -STABLE snapshot of INN
(I already have patches for that), but unless I make a local copy of
the distfile, it'll fail again in a week, because the ISC only keeps
one week's worth of snapshots on their FTP site. And there's not much
point in an out-of-date snapshot anyway (currently news/inn-stable
gives you an older version of INN than news/inn!), so I'd have to
update the port regularly, say once a week, or write the port such
that it will try to fetch and build the latest snapshot. Or I could
simply retire news/inn-stable.

What do the ports gurus think?
