In the never-ending campaign to minimize version numbers in port names,
etc., isn't it time to retire the present occupant of misc/amanda
(amanda 2.3.0.4) replace it by repo-copying misc/amanda24-server to
misc/amanda, repo-copying misc/amanda24-client to misc/amanda-client,
cleaning up the builds and deleting the residue?
It seems pointless to carry a version of amanda that's considered all
but obsolete on the amanda mailing list.
Also, it would be very, very nice if the amanda port numbers were
appended to /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf (commented out as
appropriate). As it stands right now, it's a royal (and error-prone)
pain to set up on FreeBSD.
