>Description:
	The various print/pips* ports have failed to fetch from anywhere
	except the FreeBSD FTP site since September 2002.  Perhaps
	it is time to consider deleting them, unless the maintainer
	objects, or has a newer mastersite?
>How-To-Repeat:
	make fetch
>Fix:
	All the ports are sub-ports of print/pips800.  The following
	proposed patch would mark it as deprecated:
