Description ek 2024-10-04 22:33:20 UTC 
This port is _VERY_ old and has been superseded by finance/frontaccounting24 (maintainer CC'd). Ideally, I would think removing this port and putting finance/frontaccounting24 in it's place would be best, but the handling of this is obviously entirely up to the other maintainer and you committers.

Thanks you!

    finance/frontaccounting*: Move finance/frontaccounting24 to finance/frontaccounting

    finance/frontaccounting is based on the outdated 2.3-series and is
    superseded by 2.4-series. For user friendliness move the latest
    version to finance/frontaccounting and retire finance/frontaccounting24
    port.
