Can somebody resurrect deprecated port print/pnm2ppa?
It was deleted from the tree as "Unmaintained since 2001" but it is
(was) still working fine and I am still using my good old printer HP
DeskJet 710C through USB to LPT convertor (usb:/dev/ulpt0) with CUPS.
Why don't you submit a PR with the resurrected port in it and yourself as
the maintainer? I'll take a look at it if you do. It seems like all it
really needs is someone to commit to maintaining it.
Hi Greg,
after more than a year I resurerected pnm2ppa port for my home use
yesterday. It was lot of work for me - I did some port many years ago
and converting this old port to staging was not easy for me. I tried to
build it with "poudrier testport" and it succeeded.

So what to do next to submit PR in right format?
Should I send diff against old port version, or full archive of new version?
