Do you have a patch for this to set as stated in bug? Created attachment 206309 [details]

Ups... forgot the patch.
A commit references this bug: Author: jgh Date: Tue Aug 6 17:25:34 UTC 2019 New revision: 508263 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/508263 Log: - set deprecation - set expiration to 2019-10-05 PR: 239661 Submitted by: w.schwarzenfeld@utanet.at (based on) Changes: head/x11-wm/fvwm/Makefile Thanks for your contribution! I adjusted expiration date, as this seemed too generous for an unsupported upstream version that is unfetchable. Thanks, again! -jgh Okay! The source code is now online again on https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm1 Can the port please not be deprecated? Can you provide a patch with new MASTER_SITE? Created attachment 206938 [details]

Please test the patch, I cannot test it I have fvwm-crystal installed (this conflicts).

I can confirm that the port builds, installs, and default fvwm starts.
I can do more sophisticated tests if needed once the rest of the notebook is all a bit more working as well :-)
The updated patch to bring the software back will not be committed to the tree. This is a unmaintained project. (In reply to Jason Helfman from comment #18) What needs to be done to keep it alive? Just because development has stopped (and by that argument a loooong time ago) doesn't mean people are not using it anymore. I can keep a private copy of the port, but if two people do that we are already wasting resources. (In reply to Bjoern A. Zeeb from comment #19) Please reach out to portmgr@ regarding this issue. I am fine in working through whatever the solution is to have it resolved, but at this point portmgr@ has agreed that adding this to the tree is not an option in this state. ^Triage: Correct resolution (FIXED, per original report) @Bjoern If you'd like to make a case for the ports resurrection, please: - Open a new issue: Assignee: portmgr - With the patch attached here included - With this issue ID in See Also: |
