https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=256369 --- Comment #2 from Christopher <inbox@alleghenycomputer.com> --- Thanks for the feedback... Looking back on this, my description was poorly worded and I apologize. It's not that the port is out of date as you point out; it's that the "author" of LBreakout2 has publicly announced that he is not maintaining this anymore. Instead, is directing people to the newer and maintained LBreakoutHD. (listed in bold red here: https://lgames.sourceforge.io/LBreakout2/ ) I am all for leaving older, unmaintained software around... as such things can still help users. I just get confused as I keep tripping over ports that are dropped quickly because upstream has discontinued support and yet other's don't get dropped. And, again I am fine with that... I just don't understood where the line is drawn as it seems to be both very stringent and yet flexible all at the same time. But... I am interested in learning, so I'll see what I can do with the porter's handbook. Thanks again and I will close this PR. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
