I've started this project in early 2014 and I've been enjoying the ride through 6.4, 6.5, 6.6 and now 6.7, alas it's time for new priorities. CentOS follows the RHEL release schedule more or less closely. When that happens, everything that CentOS updates needs to be updated in ports as well, including small pkg-plist and distinfo changes. Developing the PR for the last upgrade -- 6.6 through 6.7 -- took me four hours, so it's actually much less work than it sounds. CentOS also occasionally releases security fixes for things that have had outstanding vulnerabilities (think openssl, glibc, and friends). This entails every now and then updating one port. Given that CentOS 6 will be maintained upstream until 30 November 2020 we still have some time to go before everything becomes as old and rusty as it was before. This takes someone to do it, and much as I'd like there's other things on my plate. If you'd be interested in doing this and have some more specific questions, drop me a line or two and we'll sort it out Thanks, --=20 -xmj http://xmj.me --7G7vvLGh6OKKNpQ7pQcacmHNDlFpMdtX6-- --loFpROwmKn7BAKaMR2F3492Po21NlE7M6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJXDpnlAAoJEPyeKTcbGw0LuPEH/jRL4vUJY3qhZcw+hR9igmgy Q0hRcFncTCgAiBA3STvxweBdN5ZoXC9dawv49nnb3Og4sj9uSJvrtQZon+PfL8pi 55SN1GwtQlH5lOTcXOneErP/VXOHFthN4Tl9sVC04XGXaR2Ba+L5TlDPaf/nOuz+ mThdM24mB+jZQ1DKV8Jfxaf8c+ActbceK99vNk9ThwkoyetuI2s/2KEu/+TdYNt7 if/b1cca0flfYHROQGYup+G+D0PM0ze3vOqyxVOoa73JlkkVCZrhYdp56fLsWGE9 8FvqQSivLBhPPbZoRqryap/Jh53rATcTCV6ufid9eNUMnvrISMwP5Ouyr9gHfHo= =72w5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --loFpROwmKn7BAKaMR2F3492Po21NlE7M6--
