if upstream killed it, then please kill it.

Remove games/tmw (was: UPDATE: devel/guichan)

2013-02-02 Thread Brian Callahan

Hi ports --

As I mentioned in the UPDATE: devel/guichan thread, the mana client 
found in games/tmw is being deprecated by upstream. They have blessed 
the manaplus client (games/manaplus) as the official client. Upstream 
claims the most recent version of the mana client (which is not the 
version we have in ports) will be supported through October 2013 but any 
new features may not be available.

From upstream:
In fact, since there will likely be no more releases of the Mana client 
that supports TMWA (this server), there will inevitably be a time when 
ManaPlus becomes the only supported client.


Since I use the manaplus client and the writing is on the wall for the 
mana client, I'd prefer to remove games/tmw now since the alternative is 
to update the port, support it until October, and then have this 
conversation again.


Any objections?
