Linux-realplayer missing from ports

[Al Plant-2]

Aloha,

I am trying to get Linux-RealPlayer to install from updated ports
collection on a FreeBSD 9 desktop box. (Xorg and www etc all installed
fine on this test box.)

Error says it cannot be found in our ports collection. Is there a way to
locate the maintainer? This port is missing some components. Or can it
be down loaded into distfiles? If so from where?

Or has this been replaced by something else to play audio in ports. I
would be glad to try any port for playing audio from web or files that
is known to work.

Thanks....

/usr/ports/multimedia/linux-realplayer

on my box.

I guess you're using portupgrade; sometimes it can't find ports
without using wildcards.

Please, show the exact command you use and the error you get.

Don't think so:
-----
% whereis linux-realplayer
linux-realplayer: /usr/ports/multimedia/linux-realplayer

Yes Frank,

That's what should work. But it doesnt. There is a false old version in
the port on the server. This is apparently a known issue as there are
two (2) PR's with this issue reported in the last few days.

If someone on our list knows the maintainer I think it could be
corrected easily. It may be an upgrade that failed to take as the two
versions are 2004 and 2007 is what I think should be there now.

Aloha Boris,

The error is "not found" on server for the 2007 version.

The above line is what should work. But it doesnt. There is a false old
version in the port list from the update on the server. This is
apparently a known issue as there are two (2) PR's with this issue
reported in the last few days.

If someone on our list knows the maintainer I think it could be
corrected easily. It may be an upgrade that failed to take as the two
versions are 2004 and 2007. I think 2007 should be there now.
