>Description:
tarfile has been included in the python base distribution since 2.3 . I did some research to determine whether or not the module was due for an update, and no modifications have been made where the port is pointing to -- only in the official python svn repository.

FreeBSD no longer actively supports 2.3 as of a few years ago, so I don't see the point in not marking the port deprecated, and eventually remove the port itself.
