(Sorry for the repost; this one gets the deprecation labels right.) 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 deprecated 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 deletion, 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: databases/ruby-search-namazu description: Ruby library which wraps libnmz of Namazu maintainer: knu@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Does not install (cannot open Makefile) expiration date: 2004-04-21 build errors: http://bento.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/i386-5-full/ruby-search-namazu-0.1_2.log portname: devel/glg description: Open Application Builder (code generator) for the GTK and/or GNOME maintainer: lo_gafet@users.sourceforge.net status: BROKEN deprecated because: mastersite has disappeared\; maintainer has not responded to queries expiration date: April 09, 2004 build errors: http://bento.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/i386-5-latest/glg-0.2.a_1.log http://bento.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/alpha-5-latest/glg-0.2.a_1.log portname: devel/py-orbit description: Python bindings for ORBit, a CORBA 2.2-compliant ORB maintainer: wjv@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: fails to fetch\; use py-orbit2 instead expiration date: April 09, 2004 build errors: none. portname: devel/qt-designer description: GUI C++ IDE based on QT maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: fails to install expiration date: 2004-04-21 build errors: http://bento.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/i386-4-latest/qt-designer-2.3.1_3.log portname: devel/veepee description: A user orientated scripting environment for embedding in applications maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: has distfile problems\; no response from website to inquiries expiration date: April 09, 2004 build errors: http://bento.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/i386-5-latest/veepee-1.0_4.log portname: dns/weedns_sc description: Client to update whyi.org dynamic DNS service maintainer: matthias.andree@gmx.de status: BROKEN deprecated because: corresponding server software has been switched to an incompatible protocol expiration date: April 7, 2004 build errors: http://bento.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/i386-5-full/weedns_sc-1.19.log portname: emulators/linux-ePSXe description: A Sony Playstation emulator (Linux version) maintainer: jylefort@brutele.be status: BROKEN deprecated because: This port will be removed on April 16 if it is still broken at that time. build errors: http://bento.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/i386-4-latest/linux-epsxe-1.6.0.log portname: graphics/cybervrml97 description: A development library of VRML97/2.0 applications maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: current version no longer available from mastersite\; port is very old expiration date: April 09, 2004 build errors: http://bento.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/ia64-5-full/cybervrml97-1.0.6.log portname: korean/hlatexp description: Hangul (Korean) LaTeX2e system maintainer: cjh@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: has failed to fetch since November 2002 expiration date: April 09, 2004 build errors: none. portname: korean/hlatexp-pkfonts1200 description: Korean pk fonts collection of hLaTeXp(1200dpi) maintainer: cjh@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: has failed to fetch since November 2002 expiration date: April 09, 2004 build errors: none. portname: korean/hlatexp-pkfonts300 description: Korean pk fonts collection of hLaTeXp(300dpi) maintainer: cjh@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: has failed to fetch since November 2002 expiration date: April 09, 2004 build errors: none. portname: korean/hlatexp-pkfonts600 description: Korean pk fonts collection of hLaTeXp(600dpi) maintainer: cjh@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: has failed to fetch since November 2002 expiration date: April 09, 2004 build errors: none. portname: lang/egcs description: EGCS enhanced version of the GNU compiler suite maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: This port is no longer in use by anything in the ports collection and will be removed in the future.
