https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195034 Bug ID: 195034 Summary: [x11/rxvt-devel] Port appears to be obsolete and can probably be deleted. Product: Ports Tree Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: Needs Triage Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: freebsd@skysmurf.nl According to http://sourceforge.net/projects/rxvt/files/rxvt-dev/2.7.10/ and http://sourceforge.net/p/rxvt/code/1787/log/?path= the latest version of x11/rxvt-devel is 2.7.10, which is from 2003 with the latest commit being from 2008. It would appear that this port is no longer maintained upstream. Moreover, people are reporting problems with it on the Forums and the port doesn't have a maintainer. What's more, x11/rxvt-unicode does pretty much everything x11/rxvt-devel promises, the difference being that the former actually works as advertised. So, I'm inclined to think that x11/rxvt-devel can probably be removed from the ports tree. x11/rxvt and x11/rxvt-unicode (depending on how many features one wants) are viable alternatives that are actively maintained both on our end and upstream. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
