(I did seven, but one turned out to have already been done.) Some of them were pretty simple. Some I declined to do because they required extensive patching. Are maintainers notified when their ports don't work? I'd rather tackle ones without a maintainer, if I can get a valid list. If the port doesn't have a maintainer and the software is no longer available (I used both Google and searching around at the master site to try and locate where the software had moved to), what should we do? Mark the port as DEPRECATED and let the committers decide on an EXPIRATION DATE? -- Paul Schmehl (pauls@utdallas.edu) Adjunct Information Security Officer The University of Texas at Dallas
