IIRC OpenBSD refactored the code a long time back to make one of them provide both implementations, so if we do not move them to pkgsrc we could at least trivially have them both built from the same code :) (I'd also support moving them to pkgsrc) David
Re: fpr(1), asa(1)
I have various files around with carriage control. You get them from emulators/hercules, for instance. So at the very least they should be packaged. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 . Please excuse my brevity.

Quoting from Issue 7, in regard to all things so marked: [FR] [Option Start] FORTRAN Runtime Utilities [Option End] The functionality described is optional. I assume NetBSD isn't claiming support for FORTRAN Runtime Utilities -- roarde

Why. They can certainly be used standalone. And, they are
very small:
server: {55} ls -agl /usr/bin/{asa,fpr}
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9544 Mar 11 2017 /usr/bin/asa*
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14067 Mar 11 2017 /usr/bin/fpr*
Thinking about it, I'm quite that I have files that use fortran
printing control. If pr(1) had a fortran printing option, I would
be more inclined to say okay. But, I looked and alas it doesn't.
Given that these can be useful on their own, then if somebody really
wants to delete them, then they should be packaged. Of course,
given how small they are, there are likely much more important
targets.

Re: fpr(1), asa(1)
POSIX at least seems to say, Issue 6 This utility is marked as part of the FORTRAN Runtime Utilities option. So perhaps that counts as optional now.
