Hi, I notice the the Howl port's status is Deprecated with the reason given a= s 'Upstream disapear and distfile is no more available'. See: http://www.FreshPorts.org/net/howl/ However, Howl is still listed at freshmeat.net http://freshmeat.net/projects/howl and the download link for the tar.gz o= n that page still works. It in fact goes to the original developer's site a= t http://www.porchdogsoft.com/download/howl-1.0.0.tar.gz, so it looks like the only thing that's missing is the project information page itself at porchdogsoft.com I don't really know what this deprecated state means for the future of this port, but as a small lightweight alternative to the only other Zeroconf implementation (avahi) I think many people would appreciate it still being available. Regards, Paul
