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/bmp-musepack description: Musepack decoder for beep-media-player maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: does not build with audio/musepack expiration date: 2010-11-15 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=bmp-musepack portname: audio/py-musepack description: Python module that provides the Musepack decoding interface maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: does not build with audio/musepack expiration date: 2010-11-15 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=py-musepack portname: chinese/chinput3 description: Chinese GB2312,BIG5 code input server maintainer: [email protected] status: BROKEN deprecated because: Development has ceased. expiration date: 2010-12-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=chinese&portname=chinput3 portname: emulators/win4bsd description: Win4BSD Virtual Machine for Windows under BSD maintainer: [email protected] status: BROKEN deprecated because: Development has ceased and distfile is no longer available expiration date: 2010-12-31 build errors: http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-errorlogs/e.7.20100914233422/win4bsd-1.1_4.log.bz2 (_Jul_27_00:44:09_UTC_2010) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=emulators&portname=win4bsd portname: french/mozilla-flp description: seamonkey French Language Pack (FLP) maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: www/seamonkey port is deprecated.
