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/star description: Unique standard tape archiver with many enhancements maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Depends on deprecated smake expiration date: 2014-05-12 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=archivers&portname=star portname: databases/py-simplecouchdb description: Simple Library to Allow Python Applications to Use CouchDB maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Obsolete, abandoned expiration date: 2014-07-15 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=databases&portname=py-simplecouchdb portname: devel/bzapi description: Bugzilla REST API maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Bugzilla has a native REST API, see https://wiki.mozilla.org/BMO/REST expiration date: 2014-06-14 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=bzapi portname: devel/clint description: Static source code checker for C++ maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Broken for more than 6 months expiration date: 2014-05-27 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=clint portname: devel/smake description: Portable make program with automake features maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Abandonware, broken with modern com expiration date: 2014-05-12 build errors: http://beefy1.isc.freebsd.org/bulk/10i386-quarterly/latest/logs/errors/smake-1.2.3.log ((not currently populated)) http://beefy2.isc.freebsd.org/bulk/10amd64-quarterly/latest/logs/errors/smake-1.2.3.log ((not currently populated)) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=smake portname: editors/ved description: A small and fast screen-oriented editor maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Depends on deprecated smake expiration date: 2014-05-12 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=editors&portname=ved portname: german/bsdforen-firefox-searchplugin description: Firefox search plugins for the www.bsdforen.de board and wiki maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: No longer works after forum software update expiration date: 2014-05-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=german&portname=bsdforen-firefox-searchplugin portname: german/bsdgroup-firefox-searchplugin description: Firefox search plugins for the www.BSDGroup.de board maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: bsdgroup.de no longer seems to exist expiration date: 2014-05-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=german&portname=bsdgroup-firefox-searchplugin portname: graphics/GraphicsMagick12 description: Fast image processing tools based on ImageMagick maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Unmaintained upstream, no ports depending on it.
