The following reply was made to PR ports/88616; it has been noted by GNATS. From: pedersen@meridian-enviro.com To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: ports/88616: Deprecated port: devel/p5-Shape Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2005 15:49:14 -0600 (CST) okay, okay you got my attention :) Sorry I keep putting this off. I found another site that carries this library at http://users.tkk.fi/~jolma/pub/Shape-0.04.tar.gz , but I haven't done anything about this because it has been absorbed into CPAN under a new name, Geo::Shapefile. I think the correct solution is to make a new port for p5-Geo-Shapefile (Geo::Shapefile) and delete p5-Shape. I'm a newcomer to ports, though, so would someone second that motion? In particular: - Should the old one stick around for awhile to let people switch over? If yes... - Should we add that other site to it? - We should update the description to say, "This is deprecated. Use p5-Geo-Shapefile." - Should we extend the expiration date? (Is there a policy for this?) - Should I submit some text for /usr/ports/UPDATING ? I can submit a PR for this, I just need to know what you think.
