As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the number of problems in the FreeBSD ports system, we periodically schedule removal of ports that have been judged to have outlived their usefulness. Often, this is due to a better alternative having become available and/or the cessation of development on the existing port. In some cases, ports are marked for removal because they fail to build and install correctly from their sources, or otherwise fail in operation.
The ports, and the reason and date that they have been scheduled for removal, are listed below. If no one has stepped forward before that time to propose a way to fix the problems (such as via a PR), the ports will be deleted. portname: archivers/linux-par2cmdline description: Linux version of par2cmdline maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: Native version available expiration date: 2010-11-15 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=archivers&portname=linux-par2cmdline portname: audio/bmp-musepack description: Musepack decoder for beep-media-player maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: does not build with audio/musepack expiration date: 2010-11-15 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=bmp-musepack portname: audio/libmpcdec description: High quality audio compression format maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: superseded by audio/musepack expiration date: 2010-11-15 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=libmpcdec portname: audio/py-musepack description: Python module that provides the Musepack decoding interface maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: does not build with audio/musepack expiration date: 2010-11-15 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=py-musepack portname: chinese/chinput3 description: Chinese GB2312,BIG5 code input server maintainer: [email protected] status: BROKEN deprecated because: Development has ceased. expiration date: 2010-12-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=chinese&portname=chinput3 portname: databases/p5-sqlrelay description: Perl5 modules to access to SQL Relay, including a DBD interface maintainer: [email protected] status: BROKEN deprecated because: broken and upstream disapeared expiration date: 2010-12-30 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=databases&portname=p5-sqlrelay portname: devel/php-dbg2 description: Debugger for PHP maintainer: [email protected] status: BROKEN deprecated because: No upstream support expiration date: 2010-12-30 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=php-dbg2 portname: devel/thistest description: A Java unit testing framework maintainer: [email protected] status: IGNORE deprecated because: development has ceased; website disappeared expiration date: 2011-04-11 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=thistest portname: dns/bind9 description: Completely new version of the BIND DNS suite with updated DNSSEC maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: Past EOL, will be removed when RELENG_6 goes EOL expiration date: 2010-11-30 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=dns&portname=bind9 portname: dns/fourcdns description: A simple DNS server maintainer: [email protected] status: BROKEN deprecated because: upstream has disapeared expiration date: 2010-12-30 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=dns&portname=fourcdns portname: emulators/dynagen-devel description: Text-based front end for Dynamips development version maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: Please install emulators/dynagen instead expiration date: 2010-12-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=emulators&portname=dynagen-devel portname: emulators/win4bsd description: Win4BSD Virtual Machine for Windows under BSD maintainer: [email protected] status: BROKEN deprecated because: Development has ceased and distfile is no longer available expiration date: 2010-12-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=emulators&portname=win4bsd portname: emulators/xmamegui description: SDLMAME frontend that has been written using Java maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: development has ceased; try emulators/qmc2 instead expiration date: 2011-04-11 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=emulators&portname=xmamegui portname: french/mozilla-flp description: seamonkey French Language Pack (FLP) maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: www/seamonkey port is deprecated.
