I found these five port|summary|maintainer tuples: $ grep -h db2-2.7 /usr/ports/INDEX{,-5,-6} | cut -d\| -f1,4,6 | sort -u amy-0.8.7|A chess program for playing and analyzing games|thorsten@tgreiner.net neotcl-8.2.2_2|The NeoTCL part of NeoWebScript -- an Apache TCL mod|mi@aldan.algebra.com neowebscript-3.3_2|Embeds a TCL8 interpreter in the Apache server|mi@aldan.algebra.com pks-0.9.6|PGP Public Key Server|gtodd@bellanet.org qtstalker-0.28|Commodity and stock market charting and technical analysis|lioux@FreeBSD.org Can these five packages use a newer BerkeleyDB version such as db3 (3.3 actually) or one of the db4* packages? If so, we could discontinue and remove the db2 port. Please let me know if your port can move or can not.
