Hi there, I just noticed that zabbix3 (which was a LTS release) is no longer officially supported according to their website: https://www.zabbix.com/life_cycle_and_release_policy At least with PHP releases, it seems that the end of official support also means removal from ports. Is this, or rather, should this be true for other software as well? Also, regarding zabbix3-frontend, is that even still working? According to: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.0/en/manual/installation/requirements#frontend only PHP versions prior to 7.0 where supported. Seeing as by the end of the year there will not even be any PHP 7.x left in ports, not to mention 5.x which has been gone for a long time, it looks to me like the port might have to go. If so, the obvious targets currently in ports: zabbix3-agent-3.0.32 zabbix3-frontend-3.0.32 zabbix3-java-3.0.32_1 zabbix3-libzbxpgsql-1.1.0_4 zabbix3-proxy-3.0.32 zabbix3-server-3.0.32 For all of them (except for zabbix3-libzbxpgsql) their successor packages are available in versions 4.0 (LTS), 5.0 (LTS) and 5.4 (supported until March). So an upgrade path is available. In case I am right and they should be removed, how is that done? Open a PR as with new ports or updates? Thanks, Martin
