It seems the emulators/qemu-launcher upstream and sources disappeared. I could just grab the sources from the FreeBSD distcache. Thanks!

Thanks. I could not find another upstream source for this so I've marked the port as deprecated and it'll be removed at the end of the month. In case you're able to find out more about this let me know here.
Created attachment 193235 [details] svn diff to add a functioning MASTER_SITES for emulators/qemu-launcher OK I just managed to obtain all the source(s) for this port. I have a complete range from 1.7.0 - 1.7.4, as well as 1.8.0-pre0 Hope this helps. The attached svn diff removes DEPRECIATED, EXPIRATION_DATE, and permits emulators/qemu-launcher (1.7.4) to be fetched, and built as before. That's it! :-) --Chris
(In reply to Chris Hutchinson from comment #3) Do you also want to maintain it?
Ok, qemu-launcher is also broken at runtime with Perl 5.26, so I will not remove DEPRECATED even though we have a new mirror for the distfiles. The encoding pragma is no longer supported at /usr/local/bin/qemu-launcher line 24. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/qemu-launcher line 24. 25 Now this is easy to fix by removing the offending line, but then it won't even launch qemu because it tries to us the old no longer available /usr/local/bin/qemu command for x86 instead of the qemu-system-i386 command. I'm sure there are more paper cuts like this and without an upstream and no port maintainer that actively uses qemu-launcher and fixes these problems there's little reason to undeprecate it.
