Depends on how you view it. There exist later versions of tptest, but those are only for Windows or MacOS X. The port is using the latest version of the tptest sources that are available for standard Unix (including *BSD and Linux.) The online website mentioned only supercedes it for some of the uses of the program, but certainly not for all. > If you want to become maintainer and > work through the issues, please feel free to submit an update.

The port works fine as it is, is using the latest upstream version that works on FreeBSD, and is considered useful by at least some people. In short I would be perfectly content if you just back out the deprecation and leave the port in the tree. -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
