After reaching out to various individuals involved, it seems unlikely that the situation will change in the foreseeable future. Here are some statistics that support this observation: - The last buildd upload for kfreebsd-amd64 and kfreebsd-i386 was over a year ago. - There have been no porter uploads for kfreebsd-i386 in the past year. - In the last year, only 11 porter uploads for kfreebsd-amd64 have been recorded, with the most recent one occurring over two months ago. - Only approximately 30% of the packages on these architectures are up-to-date. With my ports-master hat, I think it is time to consider the removal of both the kfreebsd-amd64 and kfreebsd-i386 architectures from the debian-ports archive. I would like to emphasize that packages will still be available on snapshot.d.o for anyone interested in reviving the port. In any case, I am waiting for feedback, and I will wait for at least a month before taking any action.
