Description jarrod 2018-11-26 09:46:21 UTC 
The dns/dnscheck port has not been updated in over a decade and is no longer supported by the author and port maintainer (err, me..).  Many online tools exist today with similar, if not the same functionality.  Thanks.

Committed, thanks for your contribution up to today!
Comment 3 Kubilay Kocak freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-11-27 08:35:48 UTC 
Note that its customary (and a better user experience) to deprecate a port for some period before deleting it, to allow users time to find alternatives.
