It looks like there is a different port: databases/postgresql-libpqxx3 for libpqxx-3.1. Do you require the 2.x.x instead of the 3.x ? > Is there any further detail on why it was dropped. It was dropped because nobody told the ports collection where the libpqxx-2.x.x source can still be found. There seems to be no master site left anywhere ? > How does this work ? Is the pqxx.org > obligated to update the port on a periodic basis ? No, it's not, but the source code should still be available from some official master site. If you know some master site for 2.x.x, tell us about it and the port can be resurrected. -- pi@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 8 years to go !
