In theory, it tickles administrators to look for alternatives if they depend on the port or fork a working copy of the port in their local infrastructure and provides a deadline for this to action to be completed. BROKEN is supposed to be a temporary state, leading to a fix. DEPRECATED is a temporary state leading to removal. -- Mel _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
