These are originally from NCSA, but the website mentioned in the pkg-descr (http://www.gridpackagingtools.org/) now seems to be promoting some kind of diet/nutritional approach. The only connection to "middleware" that immediately comes to mind is that such sites tend to be frequented by those concerned about excessive weight around their middle :) Dunno what (if anything) they are currently good for, but it seems that, at a minimum, the PORTVERSION and/or MASTER_SITES -- and the pkg-descr -- need to be updated.
