Author: mandree Date: Tue Jun 2 13:26:28 2020 New Revision: 537553 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/537553 Log: databases/db6: sunset (expire) port in half a year's time Oracle have hidden newer versions behind a registration-only download, so we cannot even update to 6.2.38. Oracle haven't responded to an inquiry to that extent. Apparently, the port isn't very popular, no port in INDEX-12 depends on it, users will rather use db5 (perhaps due to the more permissive license), so deprecate db6.
