#42443: epdfview: homepage, master_sites dead, no upstream maintenance, replace with evince. ----------------------+---------------------- Reporter: devans@… | Owner: scottm@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Keywords: | Port: epdfview ----------------------+---------------------- In addition to the build failure reported in #42442, both the homepage and master_sites for this port are invalid and [https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-February/178580.html Fedora-devel email list] reports that the upstream developer is no longer maintaining this package and recommends replacement with evince. They are retiring the package. I suggest that we do the same, marking this port as obsolete, replaced by evince. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42443> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
