least I can’t find it there), so it’s hard to ascertain what the actual code 
base was the last time it was available.

There’s a number of Github repos that have been imported from Google Code; none 
of them seem to have been created by the original maintainer.  That’s not 
really surprising, since the original maintainer was looking for someone to 
take over from him a year and a half ago.

I think I will try to prepare an update to the port to use 
https://github.com/phokz/mod-auth-external, since that comes up first in the 
search, and according to the commit history, has not been changed from the 
original source (yet).

If anyone has a better suggestion, I’d be happy to hear it!

I'm the maintainer of the port www/mod_authnz_external24. Disclaimer: 
I'm just a guy who needs this module since I use it for a long time. 
Once I discovered that the FreeBSD ports version is apache22-only, so I 
quicly made a port and asked one of the FreeBSD big guys to commit it. 
As a [temporary ?] solution I can easily rehost the tarball, I think 
this is what I should do for now (unfortunately, I was simple not aware 
about the fact that the port is marked unfetcheable may be I've even got 
the email about it, but for last year maintaining this ports meant 
receiving periodically some mail with false positive building errorso 
may be this is why I missed it). As for the port future... well, I'm 
concerned about it too, because I suppose I will continue to use it. So 
if anyone wants to take it over to maintain - I'm not insisting on my 
maintainership at all.


Eugene.
