hi,

those two ports are outdated, and in the way of an upcoming boost update
which is already grueling work.

graphics/orthanc was last updated in 2022, and it was its first update
since its import in 2017.

net/fastnetmon needs an update to 1.2.x branch (that's what freebsd uses
with boost 1.87) but upstream changed its policy and really wants to use
a bunch of bundled common libraries instead of using systemwide
versions, which is somewhat against our portstree policy.

so unless somebody steps up to maintain those ports, ensure they build
with recent boost, and that they actually work, my vote is to cvs rm
them so that they're not in the way of the boost update.

any takers ?

Landry
