[*** unmaintained ***] Some time ago we discussed about a possible removal of the /unmaintained collection; I suggest to open up the previous to casual contributors and not-so-tested ports, in an effort to unify the many spotted httpup collections.
I personally vote for removing 'unmaintained' completely. I'm a big fan of httpup repositories, because they're giving a wide range of people the chance to distribute their ports. Not every user has (shell-) access to a server for running cvsupd. Webspace is cheap & everywhere available.
(Who cares, you'll say) As a CLC maintainer I found that having a separate repository often ends up with duplicated ports, de-centralization, etc.
De-centralization would be okay - but we need a central index of all ports. -- Daniel Mueller Berlin, Germany (OpenPGP: 1024D/126EC290)
