I'm loosing working ports all the time, because of these removals due to -fno-common build issues! It took me all of 2 minutes (including compile time) to get transcode built with -fcommon, patches updated, and the Makefile fixed to not cause stage-qa complaints. It may not have received updates for a long time (and maybe never again will, unless somebody forks the upstream repository and takes over), but since there are dependent ports that perform a useful task, IMHO this dependency should have been preserved (and the dependent ports too). Since I have "repaired" transcode, how do I recover the deleted ports without causing issues with GIT (which is still causing me many problems by failing for seemingly simple actions). Why is there no heads-up for ports to be deleted to give, say, 1 week of advanced warning of ports to be deleted. This could even be automated based on DEPRECATED lines and sent to the ports mailing list, to give users of such packages a chance to fix them before the deadline? I'll restore these deletet ports and remove the DEPRECATED line: multimedia/transcode multimedia/dvdrip multimedia/subtitleripper multimedia/mkxvcd They should stay in the ports tree until a vulnerability is reported or can be assumed with some confidence, or until the dependent ports have been modified to be based on other dependencies. I have fixed a lot of -fno-common issues, a few months back, and most of them took just a few minutes, including the test builds. Many of those were not relevant to me, but I had noticed that their removal would affect a significant number of dependent ports. But I'm not going to fix all the remaining issues of that kind, just those that are relevant to me, and one by one, as my spare time permits. Therefore, a warning that some parts are about to be deleted very soon would allow me to fix just those, if still relevant for me.
