Nice try.

The same fate awaits 580 other ports that nobody bothered to try to stage over the last year.

Closing this PR based on lack of a patch for an unmaintained port.

Hi John,
this should not be treated as a "nice try". There are still a few valuable ports, that need a salvage.

Best regards

Agreed.

And?

Opening a PR and saying "maintain this" isn't going to cut it.  It was deprecated for months.  A fully tested PR is what was needed.
