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: databases/ruby-interbase description: Ruby interface to Firebird/Interbase library maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Does not work with Ruby 1.9 expiration date: 2013-10-10 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=databases&portname=ruby-interbase portname: devel/rubygem-zoom description: A Ruby binding to the Z39.50 Object-Orientation Model (ZOOM) maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Does not work with Ruby 1.9 expiration date: 2013-10-10 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=rubygem-zoom portname: net-im/jabber-pymsn description: Python MSN-Transport for Jabber maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Primary MSN Messenger service terminated 30 APR 2013 expiration date: 2013-10-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-im&portname=jabber-pymsn portname: net-im/p5-Net-MSN description: Net::MSN interface maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Primary MSN Messenger service terminated 30 APR 2013 expiration date: 2013-10-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-im&portname=p5-Net-MSN portname: net-im/py-msnp description: MSN messaging in Python maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Primary MSN Messenger service terminated 30 APR 2013 expiration date: 2013-10-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-im&portname=py-msnp portname: net-im/pymsn description: MSN Connection library maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Primary MSN Messenger service terminated 30 APR 2013 expiration date: 2013-10-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-im&portname=pymsn portname: net/ftelnetd description: A small server faking various telnet daemons maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Unfetchable due to parked MASTER_SITES expiration date: 2013-11-24 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net&portname=ftelnetd portname: textproc/referrercop description: Filters referrer spam from Apache logs and AWStats data files maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: distfile unfetchable expiration date: 2014-01-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=textproc&portname=referrercop portname: www/notftp description: An easy to use Web to FTP gateway written in PHP maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: distfile unfetchable expiration date: 2014-01-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=www&portname=notftp portname: www/suphp description: Securely execute PHP scripts under Apache maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Upstream dead, EOL: https://lists.marsching.com/pipermail/suphp/2013-May/002554.html expiration date: 2013-12-17 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=www&portname=suphp portname: x11/silo description: A simple X11 launcher extensible in any programming language maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Upstream has disappeared expiration date: 2013-10-18 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=x11&portname=silo
