Description John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-06-20 17:36:16 UTC 
Hi Charlie,
I see from the log that your port was converted to an interactive port 3 years ago.  We're making a push to eliminate interactive ports.  Can you explain why it's technically required to be interactive?  And if it's technically possible to convert it back to a regular-style port?

Thanks,
John

Notify maintainer
Comment 2 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-06-27 11:01:15 UTC 
Hi Charlie, since ourman will be deprecated soon due to lack of stage support anyway, should we just deprecate it now?  I checked the bug tracker, there are no PRs pending so maybe you aren't interested in this port anymore?

Log:
  net-mgmt/ourmon: Reset maintainer and deprecate interactive port

  This port was going to be reset in a couple of days anyway due to lack
  of maintainer response, but I moved the timeline up since unstaged ports
  started being reset today.  Now that it's unmaintained and interactive,
  the same expiration date of the other unmaintained interactive port has
  been applied.
