It is much easier to find unmaintained ports by searching for "nomaintainer". For example, as I work through the perl ports adding 5.18 and 5.20 to the supported branches, I'm beginning by working on those that are not maintained: port echo name:^p5- and maintainer:nomaintainer How would you produce that list if "nomaintainer" and "openmaintainer" were combined into a single value? My reason for working on nomaintainer ports first, before openmaintainer ports, is that openmaintainer ports are theoretically being maintained by others who might take care of the issues before I get a chance to look at them, thus saving me time. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
