Kinda needs more manual intervention-- one needs to find out from cvsweb how long ago the port was deleted, but it's pretty simple from a maintainer point of view; [crees@zeus]~/workspace/ports/pcvs% pcvs co -D "last week" ports/mail/libspf2-10 cvs checkout: Updating ports/mail/libspf2-10 U ports/mail/libspf2-10/Makefile U ports/mail/libspf2-10/distinfo U ports/mail/libspf2-10/pkg-descr U ports/mail/libspf2-10/pkg-plist Of course, pcvs should be replaced by whatever anoncvs command anyone would care to use, and actually readding the port involves mail/Makefile and MOVED, but the committer dealing with the PR can deal with that.
