They are often troublesome to maintain as evidenced by this very port getting pruned for lack of maintenance. And it's *huge*. Why should dev versions be in ports? Shouldn't there be a s/w quality standard? It seems from the description that the reason is "testing purposes". Is that supposed to be FreeBSD users testing a beta before the release to avoid surprises? If so, has that historically been valuable for wesnoth and what guarantee is there that it will be cared adequately to avoid a repeat removal? Also, maybe you should contact phillip@freebsd.org since he's the one that maintained the original wesnoth-devel and see if he wants to commit it? Finally: it's not going to get committed if doesn't support STAGE. does it? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
