Description Pau Amma 2022-04-03 21:28:05 UTC
None of the MASTER_SITES shows a mgeups* more recent than January 1999.

https://www.power-solutions.com/ups/mgeups/ (disgorged by DDG) leaves it unclear their current products are supported.

The last release is very old but maybe it is still functional.

If anything we could add a deprecated flag and an expiration date and see if anyone complains.

That would work.

    sysutils/mgeupsd: Deprecate ancient port

    Last release was in 1999. It is unclear that this port works with any hardware
    that is still in production.

    Give plenty of time for this change to reach 2022Q3 in case some users only
    check quarterly branches.

    Nevertheless, while here, reformat patches.
