L-Breeder is currently marked unfetchable:
http://people.freebsd.org/~fenner/portsurvey/biology.html#L-Breeder
So I tried to investigate the problem and I'm now submitting
my homework so it doesn't get lost.
This is what I noticed:
i) L-Breeder upstream sources have "stagnated for some time,
but now a new simplified version is available" (sic, from
the web site)
So, the fetch issue is resolved. And the pkg-descr is also
updated to reflect the new home page. However:
ii) L-Breeder is now called LBreeder. I have changed PORTNAME
to reflect this, although I don't know if this is the right
thing to do. Should the port be moved to biology/LBreeder?
Or perhaps just leaving PORTNAME pointing to the old name
and then work inside the Makefile to point the build/install
to the correct name?
iii) the sources have been reorganized so I have to update
the port's Makefile to reflect this. The attached patch
works for me under FreeBSD-4.11 (although it's possible
that I may have missed a dependency if I already have a
required library installed in my box. Sorry, I don't have
a tinderbox-like setup to test builds)
iv) the program does not have a version number, nor did I
find one by looking inside the sources. To avoid changing
too much the port I just left PORTVERSION at 1.0 and bumped
PORTREVISION to 6
Finally, do note that I am not a user of LBreeder, so I
cannot test the program myself. I just noticed that by
calling the executable I get a black X screen, that I can
quit by pressing 'q' as documented in Readme.txt, but I
can't tell myself if this is the expected behaviour. Nor
do I know how to use the example files. Caveat emptor.
