It doesn't seem to be possible to keep riak buildable without holding back erlang and rebar/rebar3 enough to cause problems elsewhere, and like you say no one minds that it's been marked broken for years now. dlg@ and I still use it, but it runs on machines that don't get upgraded very often, so we can just deal with it ourselves. ok jmatthew@ if someone is itching to get rid of it.

Re: Proposal/Question: drop databases/riak?
Bump and correction: It has been broken for almost *three* years. Any thoughts?

Proposal/Question: drop databases/riak?
Cc: Maintainer Hi, the version of riak in ports has been broken for almost two years now, so I would consider it a safe assumption that there's not a whole lot of interest in that port. While I could (and would be willing to) try to update it to a more recent version, that builds and works with erlang 25.x, I'm really not sure if it's effort well spent: * Nobody seemed to miss it for two years on OpenBSD * None of the other BSDs provide ports/packages for it * Barely a Linux distribution provides packages for it https://repology.org/projects/?search=riak At the same time, if/when my proposed update to benchmarks/tsung gets in, broken databases/riak will be the only port holding back a removal of lang/erlang/21 and devel/rebar, both of which are not enjoying significant upstream support anymore.
