I've tried several items from this list, and surprisingly found out
that
their websites are still up and serving distfiles. Why are they
being
declared as abandonware? Do they fail to build with recent versions
of
dependencies or something?
./danfe
Ah :) I was sure this time that won't be tha easy :)
I am deprecating them because they are abandon by upstream which means
and seems unmaintained. they do have modern equivalent.
To be fair I'm trying to cleanup the tree from most of the gnome1
things (not speaking of maintained things or knwown to be used port - no
I'm not trying to kill xmms :))
No upstream == most of the time no maintainenance, no more patches, no
more security concern. For us it also mean more things to take care of,
more infrastructue work, more complicated makefile (in that case
bsd.gnome.mk which already supports gnome2 things and gnome3 will come
one day).
If you think they are still useful ie have users and people ready todo
the upstream if needed then feel free to undeprecate (that's the goal of
the deprecation period: warn users/maintainers that a program will soon
disappear if no one takes care of it).
regards,
Bapt
