Description ports.maintainer 2014-05-11 02:30:00 UTC 
The sysutils/3dm port provides a ports-based method for installing 3DM2, a management and monitoring daemon for 3ware RAID controllers.  3ware was bought by LSI years ago and 3ware products are no longer made.  I no longer have any 3ware controllers and can not adequately test and support this port.  The port has been unfetchable for some time and no one has said anything.  To me, that indicates there is no demand for this port.

Given the above, please delete sysutils/3dm.

If you have a look on lsi's site:

http://www.lsi.com/support/Pages/download-results.aspx?keyword=3dm

You'll see there has been a new release, v2.00.11.022.

I understand if you don't want to maintain it any more though.

PS: I did not notice it being unfetchable because I already have the distfiles.
Comment 4 ports.maintainer 2014-06-04 10:52:06 UTC 
Yes, "new" as in released in 2012.  To give you an idea of just how "no longer supported" this software is, that release contains binaries compiled for FreeBSD 5.x, 6.x and 7.x.  Fortunately FreeBSD has really good backward compatibility.

To answer the question more directly, no I can't support this port anymore.  I  don't have the necessary hardware to do it.  Takefu@airport.fm sent a patch to take maintainership; I approve the maintainership transfer.
Comment 5 Carlo Strub freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-06-05 06:37:39 UTC 
Takefu@airport.fm, would you be willing to take over this port and fix fetchability?
Comment 6 Carlo Strub freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-06-05 09:40:47 UTC 
New maintainer takes over (via private mail). I resurrect the port.

The patch I sent rejected?
Comment 9 ports.maintainer 2014-06-06 05:31:37 UTC 
I'm guessing it fell out with the switch to Bugzilla.  Might want to resend it by the official attachment mechanism.
Comment 10 Carlo Strub freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-06-06 07:02:15 UTC 
But, please open a new Problem Report, rather than re-using this one.
