okay, okay you got my attention :) Sorry I keep putting this off. I found another site that carries this library at http://users.tkk.fi/~jolma/pub/Shape-0.04.tar.gz , but I haven't done anything about this because it has been absorbed into CPAN under a new name, Geo::Shapefile. I think the correct solution is to make a new port for p5-Geo-Shapefile (Geo::Shapefile) and delete p5-Shape. I'm a newcomer to ports, though, so would someone second that motion? In particular: - Should the old one stick around for awhile to let people switch over? If yes... - Should we add that other site to it? - We should update the description to say, "This is deprecated. Use p5-Geo-Shapefile." - Should we extend the expiration date? (Is there a policy for this?) - Should I submit some text for /usr/ports/UPDATING ? I can submit a PR for this, I just need to know what you think.

I think that we should - add working MASTER_SITE to p5-Shape now - get new p5-Geo-Shapefile port - then put DEPRECATED pointing to new port to old p5-Shape port - after two months, delete p5-Shape What do you think? Should I add the new site with Shape-0.04.tar.gz to the port? Will you do a p5-Geo-Shapefile port? -- Pav Lucistnik <pav@oook.cz> <pav@FreeBSD.org> What luck - a dagger! This is your holder. Rest there and let me die.
That sounds excellent. If you'd like to add that master site, that'd be great. I'll do the p5-Geo-Shapefile port. > I think that we should > > - add working MASTER_SITE to p5-Shape now > - get new p5-Geo-Shapefile port > - then put DEPRECATED pointing to new port to old p5-Shape port > - after two months, delete p5-Shape > > What do you think?

State Changed From-To: open->closed Maintainer provided working download locatino, so I haven't marked this port as DEPRECATED.
