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: databases/ruby-interbase description: Ruby interface to Firebird/Interbase library maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Does not work with Ruby 1.9 expiration date: 2013-05-02 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=databases&portname=ruby-interbase portname: devel/dsss description: D Shared Software System maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Depends on expired lang/gdc expiration date: 2013-09-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=dsss portname: devel/g2c description: Glade to C translator maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Not supported upstream anymore expiration date: 2013-08-29 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=g2c portname: devel/ppl description: The Parma Polyhedra Library maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: obsolete version; fails to build expiration date: 2013-09-21 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=ppl portname: devel/rubygem-zoom description: A Ruby binding to the Z39.50 Object-Orientation Model (ZOOM) maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Does not work with Ruby 1.9 expiration date: 2013-05-02 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=rubygem-zoom portname: games/koth description: Multiplayer tank artillery game similar to Scorched Earth maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Unmaintained expiration date: 2013-09-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=games&portname=koth portname: multimedia/linux-gspca-kmod description: A port of the linux gspcav1 webcam driver maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Broken for more than 6 month expiration date: 2013-08-27 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=multimedia&portname=linux-gspca-kmod portname: net-im/jabber-pymsn description: Python MSN-Transport for Jabber maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Primary MSN Messenger service terminated 30 APR 2013 expiration date: 2013-10-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-im&portname=jabber-pymsn portname: net-im/p5-Net-MSN description: Net::MSN interface maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Primary MSN Messenger service terminated 30 APR 2013 expiration date: 2013-10-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-im&portname=p5-Net-MSN portname: net-im/py-msnp description: MSN messaging in Python maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Primary MSN Messenger service terminated 30 APR 2013 expiration date: 2013-10-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-im&portname=py-msnp portname: net-im/pymsn description: MSN Connection library maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Primary MSN Messenger service terminated 30 APR 2013 expiration date: 2013-10-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-im&portname=pymsn portname: net/gatekeeper description: GnuGK is GPL Gate Keeper for OhPhone, GnomeMeeting, NetMeeting, and H323 maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Vulnerable for than 2 month expiration date: 2013-08-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net&portname=gatekeeper portname: news/lottanzb description: pyGTK usenet frontend for hellanzb maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Broken for more than 6 month expiration date: 2013-08-27 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=news&portname=lottanzb portname: palm/barry description: C++ library for interfacing with the BlackBerry Handheld maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Broken for more than 6 month expiration date: 2013-08-27 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=palm&portname=barry portname: ports-mgmt/pkg_replace description: Utility for upgrading installed packages maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Abandoned upstream, does not support pkgng.
