Description

osx2x was an OpenDarwin project that does no longer exist anymore thus we should eradicate this port.

How do you know osx2x has been discontinued? The listed homepage is on the now-offline opendarwin.org servers, but perhaps the author has moved the software somewhere else. I found an old copy of the software here and I have emailed the author asking if the software is still available at a new URL.

Did you got any reply?

No, I got no response. The distfile on the dashpc site above is a disk image, so it's probably a binary. We could change the port to install that, but it seems to be dead software so we should probably just nuke it.

Eli Stair complained via personal email of this port's deletion, and pointed us to its new homepage: http://homepage.mac.com/mdales/osx2x/

I'll reinstate the port.

The new home page doesn't contain any source downloads. A Google Code project was created, but there are no downloads there either and the repository there is empty. Eli is trying to email the developer about this.
