Hello,
after updating my ports tree, I've found out that math/open-axiom
has been deleted! After math/fricas unusable with sbcl-1.3.x for
many months and now gone too, I'm left with NO alternatives for
that kind of software here.
Fortunately, I still have a working package of open-axiom on my machine,
running with SBCL 1.3.1 right now:
$ pkg version -v | grep open-axiom
open-axiom-1.4.2_3 ? orphaned: math/open-axiom
$ uname -a
FreeBSD phenom.fritz.box 10.3-STABLE FreeBSD 10.3-STABLE #0 r303311: Mon Jul 25 20:42:34 CEST 2016 root@phenom.fritz.box:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
$ open-axiom

This is SBCL 1.3.1, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>.
SBCL is free software, provided as is, with absolutely no warranty.
It is mostly in the public domain; some portions are provided under
BSD-style licenses. See the CREDITS and COPYING files in the
distribution for more information.

Do you recommend to switch to Debian GNU/Linux, where those packages
are still actively maintained, or is there a chance in hell to see
those ports reappear in the near future on FreeBSD?
Thanks,
-cpghost.
