This might not be the best place for this, but I have attempted twice in the last few weeks to inquire about the expiration status of www/waterfox. http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/mid.cgi?cfff58d3f6ee9bc4a4b6d17b780a1ed9 (Feb 28) http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/mid.cgi?4e6964ba66037feb41b03ee6076443e1 (Mar 13) It it set to expire on March 20, 2018 with the message "Temporary experiment", but keeps receiving updates, both from jbeich and upstream. What can be done to keep this port from expiring, short of taking over maintaining it? (I'd prefer not to maintain the port myself, as I do not keep track of code changes to Firefox or Waterfox to know what patches/backports need to be applied to keep the port secure.)

Removed in ports r480900. While not supported (by me) bringing the port back isn't hard (yet) e.g., $ cd /usr/ports $ svn cp www/waterfox@480899 www/waterfox $ svn rm www/waterfox/files/patch-bug1393283 $ sed -i '' 's/56\.2\.3/56.2.5/; /PORTREVISION/d' www/waterfox/Makefile $ make makesum -C www/waterfox $ make all deinstall install clean -C www/waterfox Beware the changes in Mk/bsd.gecko.mk, www/firefox/Makefile.options, other Mk/* files or in -CURRENT may break it in future.
Thanks! Using poudriere to build Waterfox 56.2.6 https://www.reddit.com/r/waterfox/comments/9pocgm/-/ecke66g/ NB patch-bug1395486 is no longer required; https://github.com/MrAlex94/Waterfox/pull/777 was merged.
