Description Peter Pentchev 2000-09-07 19:20:01 UTC 
I noticed games/nethack in Bill Fenner's list of broken maintainerless
ports.  It is a pity that such a classic in the Unix world should be
unavailable to new converts; the reason for the breakage is that the main
distribution site (ftp.nethack.org) was reorganized, *and* that the GNU
distribution site and mirrors were *also* reorganized at the same time
(see my PR ports/21095).

In the meantime, what is the procedure for assuming maintainership over
an orphaned port?

How-To-Repeat: 
cd /usr/ports/games/nethack; make fetch; watch the pretty error messages :(

Update committed, thanks! 
You are now the maintainer for this port.  Have fun. :)
