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, the ports will be deleted. The goal of this posting is to make this process much more visible to the wider FreeBSD community. portname: devel/gnu-libtool description: Generic shared library support script (GNU unmodified) maintainer: ade@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: devel/libtool15 is now stock and should be used instead expiration date: 2006-06-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=gnu-libtool portname: mail/mew-mule description: Message interface to Emacs Window for mule maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: expiration date: 2006-04-10 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=mail&portname=mew-mule portname: mail/mulberry description: A scalable high-performance GUI internet Mail User Agent maintainer: girgen@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: mastersite disappeared, no longer maintained by author expiration date: 2006-04-06 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=mail&portname=mulberry portname: mail/prom-mew description: Procmail reader for Mew on GNU Emacs maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: mastersite disappeared, no longer maintained by author expiration date: 2006-04-07 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=mail&portname=prom-mew portname: mail/rmoldmail description: Prune a mailbox of messages older than a set number of days maintainer: petef@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: mastersite disappeared, no longer maintained by author expiration date: 2006-04-07 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=mail&portname=rmoldmail portname: mail/ruby-mime-types description: MIME::Types for Ruby maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: mastersite disappeared, no longer maintained by author expiration date: 2006-04-07 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=mail&portname=ruby-mime-types portname: multimedia/splitmpg description: Splits an ISO 11172-1 into its components maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: mastersite disappeared, no longer maintained by author expiration date: 2006-05-25 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=multimedia&portname=splitmpg portname: multimedia/xmps-opendivx-plugin description: xmps plugin using OpenDivX decoding engine from Project Mayo maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: mastersite disappeared, Project Mayo is now part of DivX.com expiration date: 2006-05-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=multimedia&portname=xmps-opendivx-plugin portname: net-im/jabber description: Online presence and instant messaging server maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: fd_set -- bitmap index overflow in multiple applications. expiration date: 2006-07-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-im&portname=jabber portname: security/nessus-devel description: A security scanner: looks for vulnerabilities in a given network maintainer: udo.schweigert@siemens.com deprecated because: Development version of nessus is no longer available in sources expiration date: 2006-04-17 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=security&portname=nessus-devel portname: security/nessus-libnasl-devel description: Nessus Attack Scripting Language maintainer: udo.schweigert@siemens.com deprecated because: Development version of nessus is no longer available in sources expiration date: 2006-04-17 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=security&portname=nessus-libnasl-devel portname: security/nessus-libraries-devel description: Libraries for Nessus, the security scanner maintainer: udo.schweigert@siemens.com deprecated because: Development version of nessus is no longer available in sources expiration date: 2006-04-17 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=security&portname=nessus-libraries-devel portname: security/nessus-plugins-devel description: Plugins for Nessus, the security scanner maintainer: udo.schweigert@siemens.com deprecated because: Development version of nessus is no longer available in sources expiration date: 2006-04-17 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=security&portname=nessus-plugins-devel portname: sysutils/sge53 description: Sun Grid Engine, a batch queueing system maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: SGE 5.3 is no longer maintained.
