I've been pretty busy what with the new job and all, plus spending a
few months living in a place where I can't get broadband at home, but
p5-FreeBSD-Portindex is most definitely still being maintained. It's
just that I haven't seen any bug reports recently -- pretty much "it
just works". I believe I addressed all of the points you raised the
last time you looked at it: if you have any further comments I'll be
glad to hear them.
Cheers,
Matthew
