So I cvsup'ed my ports and there still isn't any >/usr/ports/net/ruby-uri there. I've not exactly followed the development but a little hunting around today found someone trying to merge ruby-uri into the main Ruby distribution. I dug this out of a web page discussing the idea: "I understand YAMADA Akira(ay)-san made yet another URI module(URb) and this module is in the releasing works. Koshimizu-san might decide to stop the development after examini" At a guess I'd say someone did a pretty good job of it all since things like Portupgrade which apparently need it seem to be working pretty well without it. >So what's the next step? If it's been removed from the ports tree, what do >I do about all the dependencies? pkgdb -F should catch most of them assuming the above has actually happened. Then it's a case of finding the maintainers of any ports still listing it as a dependency and giving them a HEADSUP.
