FreeBSD ports that you maintain which are currently marked broken

[Stefan Walter]

A few comments about what I have looked at so far (unfetchable ports
only):

linimon at FreeBSD.org in gmane.os.freebsd.devel.ports:

> portname:           games/robocode
> broken because:     Unfetchable
> build errors:

The FTP server doesn't send size information about the distfile. I sent
a PR with a patch; it seems to be somewhere in the queue, I haven't
received a reply from GNATS, yet.

http://64.6.228.139/biblereader/ seems to be the new home page. The
download page links to .gz files, the port wants .bz2; I have never used
that program, so I couldn't compare the archives' contents even if
connections to the FTP server the download page links to didn't time
out.

http://siphon.datanerds.net/ seems to have the missing file, but access
to it is forbidden. I mailed the responsible person.
http://gravitino.net/projects/siphon/ and various other sources indicate
the project's dead, though.
