I know nothing of that. Just that a month ago it compiled, now it won't.

So how about:
Revert to something that will compile, with no MAINTAINER.
Or delete port ?
A port that
- wont build,
- the maintainer won't fix,
- has security issues,
- is legaly problematic
- ports@ is scared of inheriting
- that we can't fix by adding a _DEPENDS etc
seems a waste of time & name space,
Cheers,
Julian
