Judging by this: https://github.com/basho/riak_kv/commit/e895dc730488f699a1ddfb3a988accd289b0a378 the js stuff will be removed entirely in riak 3. I think we can get away with doing it earlier than that though. If no one objects (does anyone else even use riak?) I'll do that in the next update, which should be in the next few weeks.

There are other upnp servers in the > tree, and one can still port gerbera. 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.
