No you cannot. Before marking all the ports BROKEN, I started by changing the MASTER_SITE_GOOGLE_CODE entry to make things fetchable again. The problem with that approach is that it is just hiding the fact that the software have not been updated for more than a year and will never be again. The goal of marking all those ports broken is that people will go and look for where the software went after google code, so that it gets updated when new releases go out. If the software has not been moved to some other place, (it takes about 30 seconds to click the automatic migration to github thing, and it is usually done within the hour,) since march 2015, it is most likely abandoned and should not be kept in the ports tree. -- Mathieu Arnold
