There are packages in the following categories: - ready to be imported to pkgsrc -- these ones should be deported to pkgsrc - packages that have no longer accessible distfiles -- to be neutralized, - packages unfinished -- to be finished. I can see there also two types of entries: - rolling release ones, tracking upstream sources, - not applicable for pkgsrc. Legacy GCC versions match the latest type.
