I do not use this software but that is beside the point and I agree in principle that there seems to be an overeagerness in deprecating ports recently. If the software is building, and is not retarding progress elsewhere, there should be no impetus to go hunting for ports even if they seem less useful than alternatives. If there is some other technical concern driving this like disk space or build time please communicate that to ports-developers so it can be debated against other options. > > Redirect users to accessibility/sct > > Simplistic program which doesn't even parse command line to give one > usage information, and "last commit 5 years ago" doesn't bother you > in this case for some reason.
