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: audio/ecamegapedal description: Realtime audio processor maintainer: [email protected] status: BROKEN deprecated because: Abandonned since 2004, please use audio/jack-rack or audio/creox instead. expiration date: 2012-10-03 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=ecamegapedal portname: devel/codeville description: An "anarchic" control version system without unnecessary re-merges maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: Dead project. expiration date: 2010-08-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=codeville portname: devel/maven description: Java project management and project comprehension tool maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: Development has been ceased, superseded by devel/maven2. expiration date: 2010-10-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=maven portname: ftp/kwebget description: A KDE frontend to wget maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: Development has ceased. expiration date: 2010-11-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=ftp&portname=kwebget portname: multimedia/clive-utils description: Passwords, RSS parsing, and link extraction for clive maintainer: [email protected] status: IGNORE deprecated because: development has ceased; use multimedia/umph instead expiration date: 2010-11-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=multimedia&portname=clive-utils portname: net-mgmt/net-snmp4 description: An extendable SNMP implementation maintainer: [email protected] status: BROKEN deprecated because: Use net-mgmt/net-snmp port instead expiration date: 2009-07-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-mgmt&portname=net-snmp4 portname: net-p2p/javadc description: Open source Java DirectConnect (TM) command-line client maintainer: [email protected] status: IGNORE deprecated because: is ancient, unmaintained, works only with JDK 1.3, no master site expiration date: 2010-08-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-p2p&portname=javadc portname: net/pathchar description: LBNL Internet path characterization tool maintainer: [email protected] status: IGNORE deprecated because: has been broken for 2+ years, no sources available expiration date: 2010-09-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net&portname=pathchar portname: ports-mgmt/barry description: A nice KDE frontend to the ports system maintainer: [email protected] status: BROKEN deprecated because: Development has ceased. expiration date: 2010-11-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=ports-mgmt&portname=barry portname: www/linux-nvu description: A complete Web Authoring System maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: NVU 1.0, released June 2005, is the last official release of NVU.
