Re: Macports tree cleanup

On a theoretical level, this makes sense and would be best addressed on a port by port basis. On a practical level, it's probably a function of available time and feedback from users that new versions are out and in wider adoption.

If there are ports that particularly trouble you, have you contacted the maintainer or tried to update the port yourself?

Not really. This wont trouble me. For the apps I need, I'll search ports first. If there is I'll install from port tree; if it's not up to date, I'll try to figure out update or install from source. In fact I submitted update for bogofilter and gnupg2. My question is more about port policy. Anyway it does not matter that much.
