[Port Abandoned] swig*

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Person email to "kevin@…" dated 2014-02-10 to update SWIG to 2.0.12. This email was never acknowledged, nor was SWIG updated.

Ticket #42911, to update SWIG to 3.0.0, filed Tuesday, 2014-03-18.

Quick search for "kevin@…" turns up no emails to MacPorts lists, nor replies to tickets, going back at least 3 years if not longer. I can find a commit by "kevin" to SWIG about 9 years ago; all more recent commits are not by kevin.

"port list maintainers:kevin" shows ownership of just the SWIG* ports (single Portfile with multiple subports), which I will take over if no reply by 2014-03-21 @ Noon US/ET.

Note that a "request" ticket type is for requesting new ports only.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Haha! I didn't think an "abandonment" was an enhancement type ... it's more of a request ... but, that's reserved for new ports then I guess this works. Thanks!

Maintainer timeout. I'm taking over this port. Done in r118180.
