            Bug ID: 195034
           Summary: [x11/rxvt-devel] Port appears to be obsolete and can
                    probably be deleted.
           Product: Ports Tree
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: freebsd at skysmurf.nl

According to http://sourceforge.net/projects/rxvt/files/rxvt-dev/2.7.10/ and
http://sourceforge.net/p/rxvt/code/1787/log/?path= the latest version of
x11/rxvt-devel is 2.7.10, which is from 2003 with the latest commit being from
2008. It would appear that this port is no longer maintained upstream.

Moreover, people are reporting problems with it on the Forums and the port
doesn't have a maintainer.

What's more, x11/rxvt-unicode does pretty much everything x11/rxvt-devel
promises, the difference being that the former actually works as advertised.

So, I'm inclined to think that x11/rxvt-devel can probably be removed from the
ports tree. x11/rxvt and x11/rxvt-unicode (depending on how many features one
wants) are viable alternatives that are actively maintained both on our end and
upstream.
