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/deepforest description: A simple compress utilty using on JDE maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] deprecated because: development stalled for years, outdated, unmaintained expiration date: 2007-11-16 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=archivers&portname=deepforest portname: audio/linux-mbrola description: MBROLA voice synthesizer maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] deprecated because: relies on forbidden port misc/compat3x; last release 2000 expiration date: 2007-09-21 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=linux-mbrola portname: audio/mbrola description: MBROLA voice synthesizer maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] deprecated because: relies on forbidden port misc/compat3x; last release 2000 expiration date: 2007-09-21 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=mbrola portname: chinese/mule-freewnn description: Multilingual emacs, with FreeWnn support built in (Only the executables) maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] deprecated because: emacs19 and related ports are obsolete; please use a more recent version expiration date: 2007-08-19 build errors: http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-errorlogs/e.7.2007080300/zh-mule-freewnn-2.3_5.log (Aug 7 19:49:18 UTC 2007) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=chinese&portname=mule-freewnn portname: chinese/xemacs description: XEmacs text editor version 20, with XIM support and Big5 settings maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: BROKEN deprecated because: emacs20 and related ports are obsolete; please use a more recent version expiration date: 2007-08-19 build errors: http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-errorlogs/e.5.2007080805/zh-xemacs-20.4_3.log (Aug 16 02:19:05 UTC 2007) http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/amd64-errorlogs/e.7.2007090223/zh-xemacs-20.4_3.log (Sep 3 23:01:33 UTC 2007) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=chinese&portname=xemacs portname: comms/ixj description: Driver for Quicknet Internet PhoneJack and LineJack.
