Description Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-07-16 06:47:35 UTC 
Upstream is since long dead and we're pretty much the only distro that keeps this around. Point people to apache, lighttpd or nginx?
Comment 1 Alex Dupre freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-07-17 05:43:11 UTC 
No objection if you deprecate it, I guess nobody is using it nowadays.
