Our port of this old window manager is at version 0.0.5, which is
from 2002 (19 years old). At startup, there is a spew of errors
about undefined symbols and the plugins can't be loaded. Clearly,
nobody has been using this.
There is a newer development version 0.0.6 from 2007, but it relies
on Linux-only code.

This tool segfaults when
1. ran without any arguments
2. passing "--help" instead of "-h"
3. passing an invalid pcap-filter(5) expression, e.g. "foo"
Running it and opening HOMEPAGE in a browser shows HTTP traffic to the site
but the tool fails to do its job entirely, i.e. it cannot detect/show/etc.

OK claudio
with two different versions of py-sip; the old one configured to only
produce the module for py-qt5 (in devel/py-sip) and the actual sip in
x11/py-sip-qt5, with broken update chain and which didn't entirely
make sense.
in particular: py-sip is now actually (a newer version of) sip again,
with py2 support dropped (current versions don't have it). other ports
using this are changed to the newer build system using "sip-build"
where possible.
for the future we will need to move to sip 6.x which drops the older
build system using the "sip5" or "sip" script; other ports (veusz, and
i think qgis) don't work with that yet.
It often aborts upon start due to "free(): recursive call",
does not support IPv6,
segfaults in vfscanf(3) due to "traceroute: sendto: No route to host" and
specifying a target only seems to work on the command line but not during
runtim in the window.
At runtime, it eventually aborts again.
tb even reported graphics related crashes in X11's iris driver when clicking
on the globe.
This port fails to build with "-fno-common".
No objections tb

"it was originally ported to 'fix' the qt5 bug with file dialogs when
running within gtk desktop environments, the default gtk3 file dialog
triggers a cpu 100% spin." -- landry
This issue still exists so DO NOT USE GTK3-style (which should not be the
default) for (py)-Qt applications.
Qt5 does not ship a qtconfig utility to configure fonts, icons or styles. You
can use the qt5ct package to do this job. Don't forget to set the environment
variable QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct so that the settings are picked up by Qt
applications
OK kmos, kn and landry
A code search suggests that lots of packages may starting picking these up, so
until we've checked, it's safer to unlink them.
Spotted by landry@, OK landry@ and sthen@.
