Per the long-announced schedule, netatm has now been removed from the CVS HEAD. Assuming no unexpected problems, it will likewise be removed from RELENG_7 in a few weeks. I apologize in advance if there's any build disruption; this touched a lot of Makefiles, and while netatm hasn't been connected to the build in ten months, there is always a risk of problems with a change of this scope. I'll keep an eye out for tinderbox warnings and correct as quickly as possible if any arise. Thanks, Robert N M Watson Computer Laboratory University of Cambridge
