There are a few pull requests that are pretty old and which I think are, de facto, stuck. I'd like to get some feedback about what to do about them.
If we can close these three, we will have no PRs older than six months active in the system, which I think is a win. 1: wine*: add 64-bit support https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/442 Apr 22, 2017 (yes, almost a year old) This PR seems to be stuck on the fact that Wine de facto needs a 64 bit version to be useful in a modern context, but that macOS is likely permanently ABI incompatible with Wine 64. My proposal here is that we close the PR, and that we remove the Wine port as being unmaintainable going forward. 2: mosh: Switch to protobuf3-cpp https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/690 Aug 17, 2017 Zero King correctly notes in the course of the PR's comment thread that protobuf3-cpp conflicts with protobuf-cpp, so all protobuf-cpp using ports probably should be migrated. This seems entirely straightforward to do (I made the needed changes in my own git repo in a couple of minutes) but rather difficult to test. To close this out, we probably need some volunteer who is in a position to test such an update. 3: submission vimproc https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/745 Sep 5, 2017 Raimue asks in the comment thread whether it is a good idea to maintain ports for vim plugins at all, given that vim users have vim-specific tools for managing such plugins. If so, I'd like us to get consensus that the submission can be closed. Perry -- Perry E. Metzger [email protected]
