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: audio/Maaate description: MPEG audio analysis toolkit maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: expiration date: 2008-07-29 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=Maaate portname: audio/linux-mbrola description: MBROLA voice synthesizer maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: relies on forbidden port misc/compat3x;
