15 ↗	(On Diff #105808)	This should go under LICENSE entry
lang/cmucl/Makefile
17	If possible provide a reference (upstream) in commit message and it seems to build on 13 but its broken?

lang/cmucl/Makefile
17	Ahh, the PR made it clearer :-) You want to add BROKEN= ... BROKEN= doesn't run as expected on 12.1+ or something along those lines and remove that from DEPRECATED See https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=781a05554b969000e09c2be0d7f202dcc1a05a44

lang/cmucl/Makefile
17	Are you sure BROKEN is the right variable to add? According to https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/book/#dads-noinstall BROKEN is for temporary issues; on the other hand the porter's handbook also says "use IGNORE when a port does not work on the installed version of FreeBSD". Isn't IGNORE better in this case then?

lang/cmucl/Makefile
17	While that phrasing might need to some polishing I would argue that it's temporary as the port is scheduled for removal. ;-) On a serious note, IGNORE would be used in case the port doesn't work (known/intentionally) on let's say a specific arch or let's say 13+. There are other use cases too such as licensing issues etc. Just setting DEPRECATE doesn't prevent people from installing a broken port while BROKEN will (also sets IGNORE), see https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/Mk/bsd.port.mk#n2801

I have added BROKEN and moved the variables under LICENSE. As for the reference, the PR is enough if I have understood correctly, is that right?

I suspect cmucl is broken since 12.0 (in the past I have maintained cmucl, for a short while), but since we have a report about 12.1, I wrote 12.1 in BROKEN.
