Re: suggestion for package website
Citando Jeremy Lavergne : I was perusing Arch's website today and noticed there's a flag package out-of-date link when you're viewing information about a package. Is this something we might find worthwhile for MacPorts since not everything has a livecheck? I presume it can put a community-initiated flag of might be out of date on the page and fire an email off to the maintainer (or if open-/ no-maintainer to the dev list). I have a few ports that I keep voluntarily in an out-of-date state (because the newer version does not compile without work and does not add any useful feature). If someone finds it is worth updating, then he can spend the time to open a trac ticket requesting an update. This way, it is possible to explain why not update it. I feel that a feature request must put a little work on the requester as it can give a lot of work to the maintainer.

It is on our ideas list for Google Summer of Code this year again, as it already was last year, but the project failed on the student-side. James Berry will be the mentor for this. The old version which was once online on db.macports.org (without much functionality) can still be found on http://trac.macports.org/browser/contrib/mpwa.
