That's very useful... :(

Good news Linux still supports it very well integrated.

Thanks for leaving me the flexibility to chose.

Next time you remove Apache 1.3 also?

Cyrus SASL 1.5.x has been dead for quite a while now. It is unmaintained software by the Cyrus SASL authors, and the last release on that branch was over 2 years ago -- there are no security fixes provided for that branch anymore. Supporting unmaintained software is not one of the goals of pkgsrc, and providing a false "choice" of using unmaintained and insecure software versus the actively maintained version of that same software is simply not something I'm comfortable doing.

Apache 1.x is still being actively maintained by the Apache HTTPd developers, but when they declare that branch dead, we will probably also remove it from pkgsrc.

        Cheers,
