librsync2 and ioping were claimed a couple hours before you requested
those ports, but pick was claimed about 90 minutes after.

It's tobik@'s call as he took maintainership, but you did request it.
Regardless of whether Tobias wants to retain maintainership, please
take a look at https://portscout.freebsd.org/po...@freebsd.org.html
and see if there are some other ports you'd be interested in
maintaining. We'd love to lure you back to FreeBSD ports.

Sure! Could you submit appropriate patches to bugzilla?

Dropping maintainership of my Ports

[Neel Chauhan]

Hi freebsd-ports@,

I would like to drop maintainership for the following Ports:

databases/py-mysqlclient
deskutils/go-for-it
devel/grpc
devel/libnsutils
devel/libparserutils
devel/netsurf-buildsystem
devel/nsgenbind
dns/libnspsl
emulators/nestopia

textproc/libcss
textproc/libwapcaplet
www/itop
www/libdom
www/libhubhub
www/mohawk
www/mongrel2
www/netsurf
x11/slop

I am no longer interested in maintaining Ports, after many months of 
half-hearted work if not neglect. I still plan to contribute to FreeBSD, 
just that my focus is now on the TCP/IP networking stack.


Could someone please reset the maintainership of the ports above?

www/luakit: dropping maintainership

[Stefan Hagen]

Hello,

I moved on and I don't have the time and actually no freebsd system 
anymore to maintain the www/luakit port. There is still an update to

the current version in bugzilla with minor issues.

I'm dropping maintenance. If someone is going to pick it up and has
questions, feel free to ask!

Best Regards,
Stefan

You may at any time, no permission required :)

Standard procedure applies to this as with any change, just:

- submit a bugzilla issue with title: "cat/port: Reset MAINTAINER", with
- a patch including the change, and
- set maintainer-approval on the attachment to + (as current maintainer)

Then someone will take care of it

lastly, thank you for your efforts maintaining this (until now) and 
other ports Neel!

 Yes, my time for FreeBSD is quite limited until AsiaBSDCon but I am
 considering to merge the two ports into one at least.  Please send me
 a patch if you have.

So sad to see people go because of this, I hope you will return to the
project because it is a nice community with a lot of nice people.
For now thanks for your time on the ports. I hope you will continue your
work on cbsd which is awesome.

Dropping maintainership

[Oleg Ginzburg]

Hello,

I stop participating in FreeBSD project because of such stupid things as
https://www.freebsd.org/internal/code-of-conduct.html
Until this is removed or changed. For example, the current CoC can be shown
in case of a negative question "Are you 12 and/or your upbringing and
intellect is OK?".
Otherwise, show something similar to https://www.kde.org/code-of-conduct/

Please reset my maintainership for these ports:

net-im/freetalk
sysutils/fusefs-zip
sysutils/ioping
www/itop
devel/libspice-server
devel/lua-lpeg
net/nakenchat
games/netherearth
www/phpliteadmin
sysutils/retail
deskutils/spice-gtk
databases/tile38
x11-drivers/xf86-video-qxl
sysutils/zrep

Re: Dropping maintainership for pydio / softether / wmconfig

[Koichiro IWAO]

I'll take the maintainership if nobody wants however
I think security/softether and security/softether-devel
should be maintained by the same maintainer.

Sato-san, would you like to maintain net/softether as well?

Dropping maintainership for pydio / softether / wmconfig

[net]

Hello,

I've stopped using FreeBSD (and now enjoy meltdown and spectre patches 
in time) and would - of course - like to drop maintainership for:


security/softether
www/pydio
x11-wm/wmconfig

Additionally I've ports for the Atlassian crowd (Jira, Confluence, 
Bitbucket, Bamboo, Bamboo Build Agent) and these might easily be adopted 
for the rest of Atlassian's software, though using this commercial 
software on FreeBSD might not make much sense because Atlassian won't 
provide any support, even with a valid unlimited users enterprise license. 
So these haven't been submitted yet.


If someone wishes to maintain one of these ports, please drop me a note - 
virtual hugs won't be considered as offensive btw.

 What you have been told is no-one steps up to (a) fix the
 problem, (b) take maintainership and (c) _continue_ with
 maintainership ...

 If you are stepping up to do the work that is great and we thank
 you for that! We we don't want is people who only volunteer for
 part (a) and don't continue with (b) and (c).

  and I was specifically told this in response to my
  efforts to identify ports that have a lot of users.

 Merely finding popular ports does not help. We need people
 who have the time and energy to maintain the ports.

My reading was that Charlie _was_ stepping up to do the work --
all 3 parts of it.  Since there weren't any unmaintained ports that
he personally uses, he was volunteering to take on some that he does
_not_ personally use, as a service to the community.  In order to
achieve The Greatest Good For The Greatest Number (TM), he wanted
a way to identify popular unmaintained ports.  His proposed method
of finding out _where his efforts would do the most good for the
community_ was met not with constructive suggestions, nor even mere
indifference, but with outright hostility.  Can you blame him for
getting fed up, especially since this is apparently not the first
time he has encountered that sort of attitude from those who should
know better?

 I do not want to say that we are a volunteer project and as such
 are forgiven  however such a model does change how we must do
 things ...

FreeBSD is indeed a volunteer project.  Driving away would-be
volunteers like Charlie -- and others who will now hesitate to take
on port maintainership after reading how he has been treated -- is
not in the Project's best interest.  I think several contributors
to this thread owe both Charlie and the community an apology.

O-o-ok... philosophical differences.

audio/mcplay and the 3 multimedia-related ports, + fbpanel, have many
users, AFAIK, and require much works. We need to someone to take them
soon.


I don't know what you mean by requires much works.  The only ones of
these ports that are not up-to-date are xquote and nettle. 


There is already an open PR to update nettle.  All it needs is some
attention from a committer. 


Frankly, xquote should be deprecated, as it's an old-style Motif app
that's so ugly I'll bet no one uses it.  I only took it (and the related
xinvest) because they got reinstated after I pointed out they were still
fetchable at a new location.

Everything else is in good shape.

I've been told that we shouldn't be looking for reasons to save any
unmaintained port, and I was specifically told this in response to my
efforts to identify ports that have a lot of users.  So I don't think
current policy supports the conclusion that we need to find someone to
take them soon.

There, in a nutshell, you have the philosophical disagreement which led
to my decision to be done with ports.  


If the powers-that-be want to deprecate all of these and lighten the
load on the system and themselves, I no longer care.  I know how to
download a tarball and run through the configure/make/install routine,
so I'll still be able to run the software I need.  I thought I'd lend a
hand to those who don't have those skills, but it doesn't seem that this
contribution is welcomed or appreciated.  There are too many ports!

(Sorry if I'm ranting, I am still very angry about all this.)

Re: Dropping maintainership of my ports

[Gary Kline]

sorry for the top post, but shouolder is killing me.

idea 1: can the 'summer of code' guys help us out with this.

idea 2.  why oh why can we not live with the fbsd and debian
paradigm?

the reason i've kept my domain here at home is because i like the
flexibility i see.  but keeping ports current is getting to be 
impossible.  there are too many distros of every open src os and
maybe if net and free [RE]-hjoined arms that 3rd idea would work.

i'm sure that many of you guys kno w that aristotle was a polymath;
he was as sharp as anybody i have ever studied.  his highest
'virtue' was pragmatism.given the headaches with maintaining
ports, and much more, isn' t it time to look in new directions?

idea 4.  axe the number of ports.  if person x or y want to maintain
a port of his ow n , outstanding.  he can post a note to the lists.

idea 5.  beging a completely separate, independent group for
orphaned ports [ for free, net, debian, ubuntu, redhat, foobar
opsys.   


a last note: i started out as a porter.  loved i t and excelled at
it.  but it never was easy.  it's still 3/2 * bear|bitch|swine.
ergo, i know why many of this list and org are slowing or dropping
out.

There, in a nutshell, you have the philosophical disagreement which led
to my decision to be done with ports.


I skimmed the entire conversation this morning.  The summary is you have 
an opinion that apparently nobody else shares.


I maintain 7 ports.  The majority of these ports had already been 
deleted years ago, or should have already been deprecated.  So after 
years, somebody (me) showed up with enough motivation to resurrect the 
ports.  That's all people are saying: If the port is important enough, 
somebody will step up to save it or resurrect it.  If that doesn't 
happen, then it doesn't deserve to be in the tree once it doesn't build 
anymore.




If the powers-that-be want to deprecate all of these and lighten the
load on the system and themselves, I no longer care.  I know how to
download a tarball and run through the configure/make/install routine,
so I'll still be able to run the software I need.  I thought I'd lend a
hand to those who don't have those skills, but it doesn't seem that this
contribution is welcomed or appreciated.  There are too many ports!

(Sorry if I'm ranting, I am still very angry about all this.)


Obviously the maintenance of ports is appreciated and welcomed.  You're 
just sulking because your idea of identifying popular ports wasn't met 
with enthusiasm.  If the port really is popular, somebody will take it 
over, I'm sure.


I don't know you, or your history of contributions, etc, so all I can 
judge is what I read today.  I don't think this reaction shows a lot of 
character.


Anyway, I'm sure your wish of returning all the ports to nobody will be 
granted and life will go on.  As a FreeBSD user, thanks for effort that 
you did in the past.


Regards,
John

There are two things. Becoming a maintainer seems to be really easy.

Having one's PRs committed is a bit more difficult and sometimes
takes 4-6 weeks (I had a case recently with 155399 and 155400).

Maybe, if maintainer can somehow easily become ports committer,
this hurdle might be lower ?

I concur with Erik. I think you are totally missing the point of the
original post. The desired wish was to remove dead ports that could not
be fetched, or would not build. Possibly, even superseded ports;
although that was not specifically mentioned I don't believe. In to
many of those cases those ports have no formal maintainer.
Unfortunately, some do. In any case, it was proposed that those said
ports be removed. Ports that are current would not be affected. As you
stated, your ports are current and in working order. This proposal
would therefore not effect you unless I am also misreading the intent
of the proposal.

Re: Dropping maintainership of my ports

[Eitan Adler]

If after this thread you still want to drop maintership I'd like the following:
 deskutils/teapot
 math/ised
 security/ccrypt
 sysutils/moreutils
 sysutils/moreutils-parallel

 I've been told that we shouldn't be looking for reasons to save any
 unmaintained port,

What you have been told is
no-one steps up to (a) fix the problem, (b) take maintainership and
(c) _continue_ with maintainership. Well, in that case, the port does
not _deserve_ to live.  After all, no-one cares about it.  If they
did, they'd take care of (a) thru (c) above.

If you are stepping up to do the work that is great and we thank you
for that! We we don't want is people who only volunteer for part (a)
and don't continue with (b) and (c).

This is because the work for fixing these ports falls on the rest of
the community, and mainly the committers if it were to break again or
when making sweeping changes to the tree. A large amount of the work
that goes into things like a gmake or autotools upgrade is fixing
individual ports that broke. If people step up to continue to maintain
the now deprecated ports I see nothing wrong with helping them to do
so. If that someone is you - even better!

 and I was specifically told this in response to my
 efforts to identify ports that have a lot of users.

Merely finding popular ports does not help. We need people who have
the time and energy to maintain the ports.
I do not want to say that we are a volunteer project and as such are
forgiven  however such a model does change how we must do things. We
can not assign ports to people, even committers, unless they agree
to do the work.

Furthermore we can use maintainership to judge popularity if
indirectly and imperfectly. If no one steps  up to do the work of all
the port's users it is not that popular.

If you are the one stepping up to do the work I would urge you
continue! However merely pointing at the port and saying this needs
to be fixed won't help as someone still has to fix it.

 So I don't think current policy supports the conclusion that we need to find 
 someone to take them soon.

The policy is one of passiveness and this seems to be the main
difference between the others and the you. Correct me if I am wrong
but you believe that we should be trying as hard as we can to find
somehow or someone to save these ports. Others believe that if someone
wants to they can step up and do the work to save these ports.

Becoming a maintainer requires that you commit to do the work to
ensure that a certain program works on FreeBSD. How easy this is
depends on you.

been done in recent years to make this process faster and I'm sure
more could be done - but a lot of people don't realize how much work
goes on behind the scenes

I'm aware of this. What I see is that only a few ports committer
do most of the commits of the small leaf ports. This would burn
me out as well, if I had to do it 8-}

So, if the maintainers of the small leaf ports would be able
to commit their work themselves, it would free the ports committers
with the large ports projects on their hands to work on those ?

Would this work ?

I use three boxes (for 8.1 i386, amd64 and 9-current amd64) to
test. I do not use a tinderbox, as I assume considerable complexity
to set one up.

Does using a tinderbox make a large difference ?

 This takes more time than just cvs commit. A lot of work has

If you look through this list's archives I actually proposed this idea
myself once ;-) The problem is that (a) often maintainers don't do the
work 100% well. I am not knocking everyone - but just because you
_say_ you will do the work doesn't mean you _will_ do it. Furthermore
becoming a committer implies a certain level of trust beyond just you
can submit patches as you get shell access to the FreeBSD machines
and other such things.

You may want to mention that you use said three machines in the PR -
it would be of service. Different committers have differing policies
for what they will commit. Some will accept that, others will want
tinderbox logs, and others will always test every patch themselves.


 Does using a tinderbox make a large difference ?
Using a tinderbox ensures that a clean build works (ie that there
are no missing dependencies).

 I agree, the infrastructure is massive!

23,000 ports held together with Makefiles - I'm still surprised it works ;)

No, no and no. If you have a copy of the upstream package the port was
based upon and it is open source, you can 'fork' it. Create a project
on sourceforge, or Berlioz, or somewhere, put the package there, announce it
get some people together to maintain it. That has the advantage of having
FreeBSD minded people maintaing it upstream. That's all. Easy Peasy.
That's for unfetchable ports or even superceded ports. If you prefer
an older program than a supposed newer suggested replacement, you can
fork the older program. That's how it works.

  (Actually the policy is that unmaintained and non-working ports should
  be let to die, unless somebody steps up to fix the port and take

Exactly.

I think it is important to clean up ports because otherwise there is a
big burden on the FreeBSD organization, and also on each individual
user, when they upgrade their machine. I think on the other hand that
some ports are especially important, and don't always receive the care
they need, for reasons that i don't know. I have taken some time to look
at some ports in the lang category that are unmaintained or are
severely old.

I have noted that eiffel 13a is deprecated and has an expiration date.
Indeed i have found old copies of this software, and it seems that the
people doing it have disappeared someway. However at least one is now
listed as contributor to gobo-eiffel
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gobo-eiffel/
which is not a freebsd port.
There is the official eiffelstudio port, which has a valid download
link but no maintainer, and smarteiffel which is maintained.

I am more interested by the cmucl lisp compiler. In the ports we can
find cmucl 19f which is maintained by Martin Cracauer, but is already
quite old, and there is no maintainer for cmucl-extras. In fact the
cmucl project does the work of providing precompiled stuff for various
architectures (the lisp compiler is written in lisp so can only be
compiled by a recent enough precompiled compiler, anyways) and in
particular one finds freebsd binaries here:
http://common-lisp.net/project/cmucl/downloads/snapshots/2011/04/
These binaries are compiled on freebsd_8.1, and there are two versions
the unicode version and the non-unicode version, plus the cmucl-extra
(localized messages, an adapted editor, called hemlock plus some
goodies). 

So my point is, how is it that cmucl freebsd version finds care and love
in the cmucl community, but that this does not extend to an adequate 
place in the freebsd ports? 

The other big lisp from the same ancestry, sbcl is better maintained,
since the last version is 1.0.47, while freebsd is at 1.0.43, that is 6
months old. These lisps are *very* important for their use in the CAS
software maxima, which is actively developed and used by a lot of people
(in ancient times the traditional compiler for maxima was gcl but it
seems it doesn't work well nowadays, and clisp is far too slow). But
they are also important for many other uses, and at this point i see an
important omission in the ports system. The standard way nowadys to
install lisp packages is to use quicklisp
http://www.quicklisp.org/beta/
and after that hundreds of applications can be installed automatically
in the same way as cpan does for perl modules. Instead there are a
select few lisp applications in the ports, which have a clisp and a sbcl
slave port. This is strange.

Yes! It finds hiccups in pkg-plist (very difficult to notice

audio/mcplay and the 3 multimedia-related ports, + fbpanel, have many

soon.

Dropping maintainership of my ports

[Tobias Roth]

Hi

I haven't been using FreeBSD as a desktop for a while now, and am thus
dropping maintainerships of my ports. If anyone wants to step up and
take over maintainership, please send me an email. For everything left
over, I will send PRs to reset the maintainer to ports@ in about two weeks.

The ports are

audio/py-eyed3 : Python module for processing ID3 tags
devel/py-testoob : An advanced unit testing framework for PyUnit
x11/fbpanel : Desktop panel with taskbar, pager, launchbar and more
deskutils/gkrellm-gtodo : GKrellM2 plugin to tracks tasks and to-dos
deskutils/gkrellm-reminder2 : GKrellM2 plugin that reminds you of events
deskutils/gkrellm-timers : GKrellM2 plugin for the setting of countdowns
misc/gkx86info2 : GKrellM2 plugin that prints the current clock speed
net-p2p/gkrellm-gift : GKrellM2 plugin that monitors giFT transfers
net/gkrellmmultiping2 : GKrellM2 multiping plugin
sysutils/gkrellm-trayicons : GKrellM2 plugin to display definable icons
as notifiers or launchers

deskutils/treeline : maintainership already taken by Pawel Pekala, thanks!

Thanks in advance,
Tobias

Dropping maintainership of two of my ports

[Charlie Kester]

I've decided to drop maintainership of two of my ports, since I haven't
been able to give them the attention they are due:

graphics/bmeps
devel/dklibs

bmeps and dklibs are by the same author, and bmeps depends on dklibs. So
if someone take one of these, he should probably also take the other.

Brief synopsis of the work that needs doing:

Both ports have been out-of-date for a few months now.

The previous version of both bmeps and dklibs introduced some Java
utilities to the package, but I excluded these from the ports for the
time being because I wasn't sure how to get them installed and running
correctly.  Perhaps someone more familiar with Java and with porting
Java apps will take a look at this.

 If someone wants to take over this port let the list know and a ports
 committer will likely go ahead and assign it to you.

Is this one of the problems you refer to?
kernel: (cd0:ata1:0:0:0): Media region code is mismatched to logical
 unit region
Followed by:
kernel: (cd0:ata1:0:0:0): Retries Exhausted
kernel: ata1: FAILURE - non aligned DMA transfer attempted
kernel: unknown: setting up DMA failed

handbrake becomes unkillable, machine can only be rebooted by power cycle. I'm 
interested in this port cause I'm looking for a solid alternative for the 
fragile multimedia/transcode. If this is one of the problems you're seeing and 
not something local to my test machine, I'll see what I can do and follow up 
through PR's.

K, this is something with FreeBSD and ata/dma, mplayer does the same. Until I 
find a DVD player that works, can't evaluate this port :/. Doesn't help to be 
with a US DVD player in Europe.
