>Description:
gift has been unmaintained upstream for years. All gift plugins have already been deprecated.
There is no use for the gift daemon and clients.
So I request deprecation of the following ports:
- net-p2p/gift
- net-p2p/giftcurs
- net-p2p/giftoxic
- net-p2p/giftui
I'm the maintainer of gift and giftcurs.
I've contacted the maintainer of the other two ports (joeldiaz@bellsouth.net) some time ago, but received no response.
