It was an attempt to nuke KDE3 from the tree. I understand your views,
but on the other hand, we don't import stuff witch is tested, new and
ready (The history of ports@ and openbsd-wip is full them -- I don't
want to talk about the reasons! We all know them).

If people want to use it, they have to create there own mystuff tree.
This is how it works even when ports disappear. Ask the vifm users!

Anyway, I didn't know you used this software. Once more, it was just a
try to remove KDE3. I bury this project, better!

I think there is no alternative for you, but maybe, online guitar-pro
