>Organization:
Lovett Network Consultancy
>Environment:

	Up to date ports tree in my ongoing quest to get all
	ports@freebsd.org ports to be fetchable, and build
	cleanly.

>Description:

	x11-toolkits/auis has been marked as BROKEN ever since the
	switch to ELF (cvs logs show this as October 15th 1998,
	almost exactly one year ago.

	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.
