FreeBSD ports repository
Modified files:
sysutils/screenie Makefile pkg-descr
Log:
- Drop maintainership
- Mark DEPRECATED, development has been ceased and is no longer maintained
- Set EXPIRATION_DATE to one month from now
But the port does not look BROKEN, why deprecating it? I mean, it
can still be useful for some people despite that development ceased.
If that's the case someone will notice that it's deprecated, and step
forward to maintain it. In an situation like this I might give it more
than one month, since not everyone uses tools like portmaster that tell
you when something is DEPRECATED, but generally the maintainer is in a
pretty good position to know when one of their ports has passed the
point of its useful life ...
