The problem with upnp is that some devices are *very* fussy and often can't be made to work with other servers. That said Gerbera is a continuation of mediatomb so would be the obvious choice as a replacement. > There are still 3 ports depending on lang/spidermonkey, which is from > the mozilla 3 days and hasnt been updated since 2010.

I don't see anything that looks like a change in js engine in newer versions. It's not super-new but there's some discussion about use of spidermonkey at https://github.com/basho/riak/issues/427. It doesn't seem like something that will be changed in a hurry. > apache-couchdb isnt maintained in the portstree, very much lagging > behind (upstream is at 1.7.1 or 2.1.1) and there doesnt seem to be much > work on moving to newer spidermonkeys per > https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/946 > > if you use couchdb on openbsd in production, speak up.
