Hello,
- I'm not sure if it is a good idea to have a unmaintained collection at all, at least for me unmaintained ports are a last-resort-handle-with-care thing.
Yep, I think so too. Let us remove 'unmaintained' completely. Most of these ports are available via private httpup repositories.
- I was thinking of httpup-ng more as a way of improving the quality of /contrib: if I trust an external contributor, and I think he has some valuable port, I'd prefer to maintain the port rather than throwing it into unmaintained.
I would put 'external' ports in contrib as well because IF I decide to include Johny User's port I'd test it before.
I personally would like such an system, maybe even if I'm working just as maintainer for a package which is maintained by a non-CLC person.
I've at least one port which isn't maintained by myself. I'll use httpup-ng if possible (the current packager needs to setup a httpup repository ;-) bye, danm -- Daniel Mueller Berlin, Germany (OpenPGP: 1024D/126EC290)
