intention to remove pkgtools/tinderbox-dragonfly next week



I created  pkgtools/tinderbox-dragonfly in Nov 2011 and used it a lot. 
However, I don't use it anymore and I also have not been updating it. 
It's far behind the upstream and heavily customized.

I am reasonable sure that I was the only one using this tool.  Rather
than subject it to further bitrot, I would like to remove this package. 
If I were going to spend the time to upgrade it, I'd use that time to
port "poudriere" from FreeBSD over instead.

In any case, unless I hear some objections or offers to take maintainer
of the package, I intend to remove it next week.   It only works on
DragonFly and it would take a lot of work to get it functioning on other
platforms.

John
