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: archivers/linux-par2cmdline description: Linux version of par2cmdline maintainer: martymac@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Native version available expiration date: 2010-11-15 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=archivers&portname=linux-par2cmdline portname: audio/bmp-musepack description: Musepack decoder for beep-media-player maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: does not build with audio/musepack expiration date: 2010-11-15 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=bmp-musepack portname: audio/libmpcdec description: High quality audio compression format maintainer: multimedia@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: superseded by audio/musepack expiration date: 2010-11-15 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=libmpcdec portname: audio/py-musepack description: Python module that provides the Musepack decoding interface maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: does not build with audio/musepack expiration date: 2010-11-15 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=py-musepack portname: chinese/chinput3 description: Chinese GB2312,BIG5 code input server maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Development has ceased. expiration date: 2010-12-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=chinese&portname=chinput3 portname: devel/libisc description: ISC's utility library maintainer: simon@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Unlikely to be used... expiration date: 2010-11-07 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=libisc portname: devel/php-dbg2 description: Debugger for PHP maintainer: jpaetzel@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: No upstream support expiration date: 2010-12-30 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=php-dbg2 portname: devel/thistest description: A Java unit testing framework maintainer: alepulver@FreeBSD.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: development has ceased;
