Hi all, will net/xorp, which is marked for deletion ... PORTNAME= xorp PORTVERSION= 1.6 [...] MAINTAINER= ports@FreeBSD.org COMMENT= The eXtensible Open Router Platform [...] BROKEN= Does not build DEPRECATED= Broken for more than 6 month EXPIRATION_DATE= 2014-02-27 ... be removed automagically? Tomorrow? Whom should I contact to prevent its deletion, be it automatic or manual? The reason for asking is that xorp 1.8.5 works fine for me (on 10.0 and 9.2) using the patch from my PR ports/186982 [1]. So it would be sad if net/xorp vanished just because no committer has had the time to take that PR yet. Sorry if I've missed the appropriate documentation. The most specific text about my question that I found was from portmgr's QA section: "Ports that have been marked BROKEN for some time are marked DEPRECATED (with an EXPIRATION_DATE) and then are removed if no one has fixed them by that time." [2] Any hints are appreciated, thank you! Johannes ps And so is feedback from other users of xorp (e.g. net/xorp-devel), if they still exist;-) [1] <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=186982>; [2] <http://www.freebsd.org/portmgr/qa.html>;
