In addition, looking at ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/AUIS/ there have been no new releases since 1994. >How-To-Repeat: cd x11-toolkits/auis; make >Fix: Since: (a) fixing this port to DTRT under ELF is likely to be a horrendously non-trivial task (b) there's no maintainer (c) AUIS itself hasn't been updated in over 5 years (d) no-one seems to care about it enough to get it working again (searches on the ports list show nothing relevant) I humbly submit that this port should be consigned to the great bit-bucket in the sky, buried with the respect that such a behemoth deserves and with full military honors. Requiem Mors Pacem. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
