Hello.
Today I found database/postgis (previously at version 1.5.3) was removed:
this is no surprise, since the port was deprecated long ago.
However, there's PR/174764 with a patch to upgrade it to 1.5.8, so I'm
wondering: was removing this really the best option?
I use a tool ports/Tools/scripts/rmport to remove expired ports which checks the
PR database when removing a port but somehow this PR did not show up.
If I understand correctly, it executes 'query-pr -qx -y databases
postgis' on freefall
and this does not include closed PRs.
Also consider 2.x is not source code compatible: application written for 1.x
need rewriting.
One port, graphics/tinyows, depended on this and has been updated to work with
postgis21. But that does indeed exclude software not in the Ports Tree.
Thanks for you answer.
So can we have it back?
bye
av.
