#52733: libnetdude, netdude: remove outdated ports that depend on gtk1/glib1
-------------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  dbevans      |      Owner:  ecronin
     Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal       |  Milestone:
Component:  ports        |    Version:  2.3.4
 Keywords:  removal      |       Port:  netdude libnetdude
-------------------------+--------------------------------
 netdude and its dependency libnetdude are some of the last ports that
 depend on gtk1/glib1 which were superceded by gtk2/glib2 in the early
 2000's.  In addition, there has been no updates for these ports since 2011
 or so.

 With gtk4 beta now scheduled for March
 2017 it just doesn't make any sense to keep old unmaintained gnome1/gtk1
 ports around.

 Since these ports are blocking the current effort to remove gtk1 from
 MacPorts, I am asking your agreement to remove them as well.  My
 understanding is that there are no other dependents of these ports.

 Please let me know if you have any objection, that you have removed them
 yourself or that I have your authority as maintainer to remove these
 ports.
