Dear FreeBSD port maintainer: 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: graphics/p5-Geo-KML description: Perl Module to Create Google Earth KML/KMZ maintainer: perl@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: expiration date: 2015-02-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=graphics&portname=p5-Geo-KML portname: lang/perl5.16 description: Practical Extraction and Report Language maintainer: perl@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Unsupported, please upgrade to a more recent version of Perl expiration date: 2015-07-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=lang&portname=perl5.16 portname: www/p5-WWW-Scraper-ISBN-Driver description: Driver class for WWW::Scraper::ISBN module maintainer: perl@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Merged to www/p5-WWW-Scraper-ISBN by upstream expiration date: 2015-01-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=www&portname=p5-WWW-Scraper-ISBN-Driver portname: www/p5-WWW-Scraper-ISBN-Record description: Book Record class for WWW::Scraper::ISBN module maintainer: perl@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Merged to www/p5-WWW-Scraper-ISBN by upstream expiration date: 2015-01-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=www&portname=p5-WWW-Scraper-ISBN-Record If this problem is one that you are already aware of, 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.
