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: biology/dotter description: A viewer for multiple sequence alignments maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Broken for more than 6 month expiration date: 2013-11-18 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=biology&portname=dotter portname: devel/libXGP description: Yet another General Purpose library maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Broken for more than 6 month expiration date: 2013-11-18 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=libXGP portname: devel/libYGP description: Yet another General Purpose library maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Broken for more than 6 month expiration date: 2013-11-18 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=libYGP portname: devel/ros_comm description: Robot Operating System - communication-related utilities maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Broken for more than 6 month expiration date: 2013-11-18 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=ros_comm portname: dns/opendd description: A small DynDNS client maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Broken for more than 6 month expiration date: 2013-11-18 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=dns&portname=opendd portname: editors/mode-info description: Functions to refer Manuals on Emacsen with describe-* like interface maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Misbuilding since 2004, not maintained since 2008 expiration date: 2013-11-20 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=editors&portname=mode-info portname: editors/xml2rfc-xxe description: xml2rfc configuration for XMLMind XML editor maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Depends on editors/xxe, which is due to be removed due to lack of maintainer expiration date: 2013-11-15 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=editors&portname=xml2rfc-xxe portname: editors/xxe description: Validating XML editor featuring a word processor-like view maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: XXE becomes unfetchable every 3-4 months as distfile is replaced with new version.
