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/bsdar description: BSD-licensed replacement of the ar utility maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: part of the base system expiration date: 2013-02-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=archivers&portname=bsdar portname: databases/py-MySQLdb-devel description: Access a MySQL database through Python maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: use databases/py-MySQLdb instead expiration date: 2012-05-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=databases&portname=py-MySQLdb-devel portname: devel/libgetline description: A small, portable, and easy to use command line library maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Upstream disapear and distfile is no more available expiration date: 2013-02-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=libgetline portname: graphics/gmt description: The Generic Mapping Tools data processing and display software package maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Hasn't fetched since before 2006 expiration date: 2012-04-17 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=graphics&portname=gmt portname: graphics/vrml2pov description: Convert VRML files to POVRay source maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: unfetchable expiration date: 2012-03-21 build errors: http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/powerpc-errorlogs/e.9.20120118054720/vrml2pov-0.7_1.log (_Dec_16_03:59:13_UTC_2011) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=graphics&portname=vrml2pov portname: mail/py-email description: Email package for Python 2.3 or upper maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Included into all supported python versions expiration date: 2012-03-14 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=mail&portname=py-email portname: misc/fortune-mod-the-godfather description: Compilation of excuses from the "The Godfather" maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: No longer supported expiration date: 2012-05-06 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=misc&portname=fortune-mod-the-godfather portname: net-p2p/fidelio description: A GNOME client for Hotline maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Hotline services does not exists anymore expiration date: 2012-03-20 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-p2p&portname=fidelio portname: net/ct description: IPv6 Conformance Test Kit maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: permission to use withdrawn by authors; contact portmgr for details expiration date: 2012-03-14 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net&portname=ct portname: net/v6eval description: IPv6 Conformance Test Platform maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: permission to use withdrawn by authors; contact portmgr for details expiration date: 2012-03-14 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net&portname=v6eval
