Netscape ports users and maintainers, I'm planning to use c/n-v474-us.x86-unknown-freebsd.tar.gz as distfiles of www/netscape47-c/n ports. In other words, Netscape us ports would be removed. Also I'm planning to remove Netscape-4.08 ports and make www/netscape47-c as MASTERDIR. Anyone needs those ports today ? Arguments are welcome.
