Please ship it, before the tree moves again too much for it to apply.
Marking 10-12 ports as broken is fine.

which I wanted to discuss with the community. I have checked only the port=

> What changed and what are the failures:
> 1. cslatex support has been DEPRECATED upstream
> 2. print/tex-aleph has been removed as upstream has also removed it
> 3. Fails to build
> - databases/bbdb (Last release was on 2018)
> - misc/latex-mk (Last release was on 2010)
> - textproc/dblatex (The location of the required file has changed can b=
e easily patched)
> - textproc/bibtool (Someone with latex knowledge should be able to fix =
this)

> - print/lgrind (Last release was on 2001)
> - print/muttprint (Last release was on 2008)
> - cad/alliance (Last release was on 2019)
> - math/asymptote (Should be able to fix this later with someone=E2=80=
=99s help who knows)
> 4. Dependents
> - print/lilypond{-devel} depends on textproc/dblatex but if we upgrade =
lilypond it will no longer require dblatex

> http://pdr.bofh.network/jail.html?mastername=3DMAIN-tex

> So my question is whether if we are okay with UPDATING to 2021 while thes=
e 10/12 ports are BROKEN/IGNORED? I am looking forward to move forward a bi=
t faster as there are lots of files involved and the files changes every no=
w and then and merging everytime is really painful with this big of a patch=
set.
