After going through all of our Ruby ports, I think we should remove the ports listed below. These are a set of leaf ports (some of these ports depend on others in the set, but nothing outside this set depends on something inside this set). These are all pure-ruby ports that don't benefit from packaging.
databases/ruby-kirbybase: Last release 11 years ago databases/ruby-redis-namespace: Current version is 6 years old databases/ruby-redis: Current version is 6 years old databases/ruby-rescue: Current version is 10 years old devel/ruby-abstract: Last release 17 years ago devel/ruby-colorator: Last release 7 years ago devel/ruby-commander: Current version is 10 years old devel/ruby-daemon_controller: Last release 9 years ago devel/ruby-extlib: Last release 10 years ago devel/ruby-flexmock: Last release 9 years ago devel/ruby-git: Current version is 14 years old devel/ruby-hoe: Only 4 years old, but only needed as a dependency of other ports in this set devel/ruby-indentation: Last release 9 years ago devel/ruby-json_pure: Current version is 8 years old devel/ruby-ole: Current version is 11 years old devel/ruby-open4: Last release 9 years ago devel/ruby-polyglot: Last release 9 years ago devel/ruby-rr: Current version is 10 years old devel/ruby-rake-remote_task: Current version is 6 years old devel/ruby-ruby2ruby: Current version is 12 years old devel/ruby-ruby_parser: Current version is 12 years old devel/ruby-rubyinline: Current version is 12 years old devel/ruby-sexp_processor: Current version is 11 years old devel/ruby-sync: Only 4 years old, but was only needed as a dependency of Puppet 5, since removed devel/ruby-thread_safe: Last release 6 years ago, only imported as a dependency, no longer a dependency devel/ruby-transaction-simple: Last release 11 years ago devel/ruby-trollop: Current version is 11 years old, project renamed to optimist, which is already in ports devel/ruby-uuidtools: Current version is 9 years old devel/ruby-zentest: Current version is 10 years old graphics/ruby-color: Last release was 7 years ago graphics/ruby-gruff: Current version only 3 years old, but newer versions require additional dependencies mail/ruby-mail: Current version is almost 5 years old mail/ruby-mime-types: Only 2 years old, but was only needed as a test dependency of www/ruby-ethon, since removed mail/ruby-mime-types-data: Only 1 year old, but only needed for ruby-mime-types mail/ruby-mime: Current version is 14 years old net/ruby-mfi: Last release 9 years ago net/ruby-net-dns: Current version is 10 years old net/ruby-net-http-digest_auth: Current version is 11 years old net/ruby-net-scp: Current version is 9 years old net/ruby-net-sftp: Current version is 10 years old net/ruby-net-ssh: Current version is 8 years old net/ruby-net-ssh-gateway: Current version is 10 years old, Last release 6 years ago net/ruby-snmp: Current version is 9 years old net/ruby-sshkit: Current version is 8 years old security/ruby-hmac: Last release 13 years ago sysutils/ruby-capistrano: Current version is 8 years old sysutils/ruby-directory_watcher: Last release 10 years ago sysutils/ruby-vlad: Current version is 8 years old textproc/ruby-builder: Current version is 12 years old textproc/ruby-haml: Current version is 11 years old textproc/ruby-icalendar: Current version is 9 years old textproc/ruby-liquid: Current version is 11 years old textproc/ruby-maruku: Current version is 11 years old textproc/ruby-pygments.rb: Current version is 8 years old textproc/ruby-rexical: Current version is 12 years old textproc/ruby-syntax: Current version is 18 years old textproc/ruby-treetop: Current version is 7 years old textproc/ruby-yard: Current version is 8 years old www/ruby-faraday_middleware-multi_json: Current version is 9 years old www/ruby-mustermann: Current version is 6 years old www/ruby-rack-protection: Current version is 6 years old www/ruby-rainbows: Only 3 years old, but no benefit to being packaged (imported and maintained by me) www/ruby-sanitize: Current version is 10 years old www/ruby-sinatra: Current version is 6 years old www/ruby-vegas: Last release 11 years ago OKs to remove the above ports?

I have already received OKs to remove the following ports: devel/ruby-systemu (OK jasper@) devel/ruby-uuid (OK jasper@) misc/tpp (OK kili@) net/ruby-macaddr (OK jasper@) net/ruby-stomp (OK sebastia@) security/ruby-openid (OK kmos@) textproc/ruby-kramdown (OK kn@, tb@) So I plan to remove them on September 6 unless I hear objections. Thanks, Jeremy
