net-mgmt/cflowd: Deprecate and expire on 15 August 2014
I tried to fix this port for modern C++ compilers, I really did. I
had come up with a couple of dozen patches and some REIMPLACE_CMD fixes
too. It almost compiled. I seemed to have lost that all those patches
since then though. tijl@ had a similar experience a few months ago.
This port was released by the maintainer 10 years ago. Among the reasons
stated was that maintainance was impossible to do correctly without access
to netflow-speaking routers. Also, no new release of the source code was
ever made, it's still in beta.
Therefore I recommend that this port requires a true maintainer, one that
has access to netflow routers. Given that the source was never updated, I
am not sure its even still useful 10 years later. So I recommend this
port be pruned on 15 August 2014 if no suitable maintainer shows up.
The port is also unstaged.
