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 listed in this email are ports that depend on one or more of the ports that are scheduled to be removed, but are not yet themselves on the list. However, once those ports are removed, these ports will then become broken, and thus the reason for this email. Affected port: portname: devel/p5-File-HStore deprecated because: build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=p5-File-HStore Expiring ports upon which this one depends: portname: security/p5-Digest-SHA2 deprecated because: Has numerious known bugs, deprecated in favor of Digest::SHA expiration date: 2007-09-10 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=security&portname=p5-Digest-SHA2 If you are already aware of the above problem(s), please accept our apologies and ignore this message. On the other hand, if you no longer wish to maintain this port (or ports), please reply with a message stating that, and accept our thanks for your efforts in the past. Thanks for your efforts to help improve FreeBSD.
