Description Herbert J. Skuhra 2025-06-01 06:23:25 UTC
The project is dead. Latest release is from June, 2008 and latest commit happened 2011.
If you want to keep this port please at least reset MAINTAINER. This is my old e-mail address that I no longer use. Thanks.
Comment 1 Bugzilla Automation freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2025-06-01 06:23:25 UTC
Maintainer informed via mail
Comment 2 Zsolt Udvari freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2025-06-01 11:42:45 UTC
It's possible change your email address in maintainer variable - or don't you want its maintainer?

About sunset: if the port builds, runs fine and has user base (eg. you) IMHO can be in ports tree.

(In reply to Zsolt Udvari from comment #2)
I no longer use this port and I am not sure whether it works properly or not.
Comment 4 Zsolt Udvari freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2025-06-02 17:40:13 UTC
It works for me - at least can run 'pal' command.
Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo have pal package.

My suggestion is reset maintainer and keep the port in ports tree.

    deskutils/pal: Reset maintainer

    While I'm here modernize a bit:
    - add license informations
    - switch to DISTVERSION
    - use built-in install, remove do-install target
    - regenerate patches
