nettle: port abandoned

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Neither maintainer has responded to the three open tickets in over half a year. If either of you still wish to maintain the port, please speak now. Otherwise if I don't hear from you by May 1, 2014, I will reassign the port to be maintained by someone else.

Dear Ryan,

there is another problem with the current nettle portfile: when building universal it blindly assumes an Intel machine as the host. I have run it on a PowerPC Mac and here the line

    set merger_configure_args(i386) --build=i686-apple-${os.platform}${os.major}

does of course pose problems.

I would also recommend to introduce a temporary variable like

set suffix apple-${os.platform}${os.major}

that may be used to simplify the file significantly.

Best regards,

Thomas
