From: Daniel Dickman Subject: Re: remove net/mininet ? To: Klemens Nanni Cc: ports , Ayaka Koshibe , akoshibe@openbsd.org Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2025 13:35:54 -0400 Our version is a local fork of upstream mininet 2.2.2 which seems to have been done to add OpenBSD support back in 2017. Upstream there's mininet 2.3.0 which added Python 3 support although I haven't looked into what would be involved to migrate the local openbsd changes to the newer mininet version. There's also upstead 2.3.1b4 but then the project looks like it stalled in 2023. I don't object to removing it if no one wants to step up to maintain it, but just pointing out that there is a chance of getting this one to Python 3 for anyone with an interest. I'd vote to remove after release unless Ayake (as maintainer) has a different view.
