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: misc/ezload description: Firmware down/uploader for Cypress' EZ-USB chip maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: does not build with new USB stack in 8-STABLE expiration date: 2010-04-04 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=misc&portname=ezload portname: misc/gkrellmbgchg description: A plugin for GKrellM, which changes the desktop's background image maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: use misc/gkrellmbgchg2 expiration date: 2010-01-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=misc&portname=gkrellmbgchg portname: multimedia/kbtv description: KDE TV viewer for FreeBSD maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: no longer under development by author expiration date: 2010-03-04 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=multimedia&portname=kbtv portname: net-mgmt/net-snmp4 description: An extendable SNMP implementation maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Use net-mgmt/net-snmp port instead expiration date: 2009-07-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-mgmt&portname=net-snmp4 portname: net/mpd description: Multi-link PPP daemon based on netgraph(4) [legacy version] maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: obsoleted, unsupported port.
