Yes it is. Sorry did not want to get rude. > If virtualbox-ose-kmod-legacy is useful by itself, I'm happy to restore it. I am quite sure nobody would use the kmod port on it's own - nevertheless I would expect someone to mark ports as deprecated/expired and/or reset maintainer like we have done so for ages. Is this really the way we want to handle that? Deleting the port means we will not build any packages for the next week and many users will be surprised at least. I am currently on holidays so I won't be able to fix it in the next couple of days. Yes, I am aware that the staging deadline has passes and I have staged all my ports already but still this one port seems to have gone unnoticed - for whatever reason. I will do my work to get it fixed but it will take a few days.
