Summary: sysutils/cfvers: request for marking it BROKEN and DEPRECATED

Description R.Mahmatkhanov 2011-09-01 20:40:08 UTC 
This port is unmaintained more then 3 years for now and it depends on obsoleted databases/py-PySQLite10 port. Project is dead upstream (latest release from 2005-10-30) and it's author discourages it's usage. It's also lacks needed dependencies to actually work (pyro, mxDateTime etc). Please check offsite (http://www.nongnu.org/cfvers/):

"""
Note: this project is obsolete

With the advent of "smart" version control systems, such as git, mercurial and others, this project is obsolete. Please don't use it, the information below is just for record. Thanks!
"""

Since there is no ports that depend on this one, and nobody has interest to maintain it, it's safe to remove it with no regret.

User should be suggested to use git or mercurial instead.
