I'm using autotrace from time-2-time and ming is a prerequisite for autotrace. Apart from that I would not use ming.

But I assume you don't actually need autotrace's ability to read/write Flash files? You are using autotrace with other image formats?
The autotrace build system doesn't have a way to disable ming support if ming is found, so if I wanted to remove the ming dependency from the autotrace port I would have to patch the build system. I already filed a bug report with autotrace about this and suggested they remove ming support which they plan to do for version 0.40.0.

I use autotrace to convert and generate to images in vector format. If autotrace work without ming, it's fine.

As said. I don't use ming, but when I tried to install, more than 1 year ago, autotrace I struggled installing autotrace since ming was a prerequisite. If autotrace work without ming, I'm fine. Thanks

If you sudo port selfupdate now, you should then be able to sudo port install autotrace without needing ming.
ming creates Flash files. Adobe discontinued Flash in 2020. ming hasn't been updated since then and has a bazillion vulnerabilities. Is ming still useful for anything or should we remove it?
