 Replying to [ticket:58184 chrstphrchvz]:
 > {{{
 > svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL
 'http://cronnix.googlecode.com/svn/trunk'
 > }}}

 The developers were notified of
 [https://code.google.com/archive/p/cronnix/issues/20 Google Code's
 impending closure] in 2015; they did not respond. I notified them by email
 in 2016 that the project was no longer easily accessible; they did not
 respond.

 > There is a inactive copy on GitHub (I do not know if it is official or a
 fork): https://github.com/chrisidefix/cronnix.

 Almost certainly not official. It is missing all but the 4 most recent
 upstream commits because the conversion to GitHub did not properly account
 for the way in which the original Subversion repository was rearranged
 over time. Nevertheless, we could possibly use the GitHub automated
 download as a convenient way to get a source tarball for the port. Prior
 to doing so we should compare it with the full repository download
 [https://code.google.com/archive/p/cronnix/source/default/source still
 available at Google Code] to make sure it is equivalent.

 > However even if a new distfile source is used, I suspect this still
 might not build on recent Xcode versions due to older Xcode project files.

 It's not a complicated project, so that's probably not a big obstacle.

 > (I personally do not need this port. There is a compiled binary still
 available on a few download sites, but it is 32-bit, so it may stop
 working with upcoming macOS releases.)

 Such download sites include the
 [https://code.google.com/archive/p/cronnix/downloads project's home at
 Google Code]. Meanwhile [https://packages.macports.org/CronniX/ MacPorts
 has 64-bit versions available].
