To an extent but I don't 100% agree with this, sometimes there are non-obvious reasons why ports are old, and maintainers with domain specific knowledge can be in a good position to discuss this. Replies like "I'm interested and want to review this but don't have time yet" or "ENOTIME but go ahead if you think it's ok" etc are easy for others working on the tree to handle, no reply and not knowing how long to wait (while keeping things depending on them stacked up) not so much. > thus not having MAINTAINER in outdated > ports makes it easier to identify factually obsolete/broken software > during occasional tree cleanups, which are, imho, needed to keep a grip > on packages worth building and using. > > > > > any objections? > > > > Thanks. > > > > rpointel: > > : databases/py-redis devel/apktool devel/dex2jar devel/jadx > > : devel/py-biplist devel/py-dtfabric devel/py-filebytes devel/py-llvmlite > > : devel/py-olefile devel/py-progressbar devel/pycdc net/py-nmap net/py-tld > > : security/emldump security/libbde security/libewf security/oledump > > : security/oletools security/pdf-parser security/pdfid security/plaso > > : security/py-artifacts security/py-dfdatetime security/py-dfvfs > > : security/py-dfwinreg security/py-miasm security/py-ropper > > : security/regripper security/theharvester security/yara/main > > : security/yara/python sysutils/downtimed sysutils/libesedb > > : sysutils/libevt sysutils/libevtx sysutils/libfsapfs sysutils/libfsntfs > > : sysutils/libfvde sysutils/libfwnt sysutils/libfwsi sysutils/liblnk > > : sysutils/libluksde sysutils/libmsiecf sysutils/libolecf sysutils/libqcow > > : sysutils/libregf sysutils/libscca sysutils/libsigscan sysutils/libsmdev > > : sysutils/libsmraw sysutils/libvhdi sysutils/libvmdk sysutils/libvshadow > > : sysutils/libvslvm sysutils/py-analyzemft sysutils/py-tsk > > : sysutils/sleuthkit textproc/uncrustify > > > > bcallah: > > : archivers/libzip archivers/py-libarchive-c archivers/quazip > > : astro/gcal astro/gnuastro audio/mp3blaster audio/mscore > > : audio/parlatype audio/timidity audio/vgmplay cad/gerbv > > : comms/dump1090 converters/dos2unix converters/p5-Date-Tolkien-Shire > > : converters/p5-Date-Tolkien-Shire-Data converters/unsf > > : devel/astyle devel/bamf devel/bpython devel/cmocka devel/dtools > > : devel/dub devel/dwz devel/libaio_compat devel/libfirm > > : devel/lua-bitop devel/p5-Getopt-Tabular devel/py-cloudpickle > > : devel/py-iso3166 devel/py-iso639 devel/py-magic devel/py-parallel > > : devel/samurai devel/sdcc devel/z80ex devel/zmac editors/dte > > : editors/editorconfig-core-c editors/featherpad editors/focuswriter > > : editors/moe editors/ne emulators/tnylpo fonts/siji fonts/unifont > > : games/armagetronad games/brumbrumrally games/candycrisis > > : games/corsixth games/devilutionx games/endless-sky games/fallingtime > > : games/freedink/data games/freedink/game games/freeserf > > : games/freesynd games/frotz games/galois games/gigalomania > > : games/gnukem games/gottcode/connectagram games/gottcode/cutemaze > > : games/gottcode/gottet games/gottcode/hexalate games/gottcode/peg-e > > : games/gottcode/simsu games/gottcode/tanglet games/gottcode/tetzle > > : games/hyperrogue games/inform6/compiler games/inform6/library > > : games/julius games/jumpnbump games/liberalcrimesquad games/manaplus > > : games/openclonk games/openfodder games/openjazz games/openjk > > : games/openomf games/openrct2 games/pentobi games/postal > > : games/returntotheroots games/scid games/spacetrader games/stockfish > > : games/tic80 games/valyriatear games/wtf games/xye graphics/azpainter > > : graphics/dibuja graphics/drawpile graphics/feh graphics/mandelbulber > > : graphics/zimg lang/a60 lang/algol68g lang/apl lang/cim lang/cparser > > : lang/dmd lang/flang/driver lang/flang/flang lang/flang/libpgmath > > : lang/freebasic lang/gawk lang/gdmd lang/gpc lang/gravity lang/kona > > : lang/ldc lang/pcbasic lang/qbe lang/quickjs lang/regina lang/seed7 > > : lang/tcc mail/dma math/bc-gh math/bcal math/pspp math/rstudio > > : math/spread-sheet-widget math/veusz misc/feathernotes misc/sent > > : multimedia/assimp multimedia/streamlink net/sacc net/srain net/tintin++ > > : productivity/novprog shells/elvish shells/etsh sysutils/bfs > > : sysutils/cmb sysutils/coreutils sysutils/cpdup sysutils/diffoscope > > : sysutils/free sysutils/lookat sysutils/lscpu sysutils/mangl > > : sysutils/repology sysutils/rw sysutils/tabs sysutils/trash-d > > : sysutils/truncate sysutils/ugrep textproc/halibut textproc/nfoview > > : www/dooble www/libmicrohttpd www/py-requests-mock www/tuba www/uget > > : x11/elementary/calculator x11/elementary/code x11/elementary/dock > > : x11/elementary/granite x11/qtfm x11/worker x11/xfe x11/xli x11/xpad > > >
