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 And there's not much point in an out-of-date snapshot anyway (currently news/inn-stable gives you an older version of INN than news/inn!), so I'd have to update the port regularly, say once a week, or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?
