On March, four months ago, after a python upgrade, I sent a pr about 
multimedia/libkate (pr=155280) because the dependency of the port from python 
was missing.
I tried repeatedly to contact the maintainer asking about the pr without luck.
Without considering the fact that, looking at Makefile in cvsweb, it seems 
that he just did the first commit in 2008 and that there is a new version of 
libkate since 2010-08-10!

So I also proposed to add a knob to *optionally disable* libkate in 
audio/vorbis-tools - using an option yet offered in vorbis-tools configure- 
which is the only port depending on libkate together with 
multimedia/ffmpeg2theora (which has been last touched by anders on 2008-08-04).
The pr has been closed stating the if there is a problem with libkate it 
should be fixed, and I can mostly agree with that, but:
- it seems that no one has tried to fixed it
- in any case, one may want to have vorbis-tools and not necessarily libkate, 
which seems unmantained

Barbara
