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/bsdar description: BSD-licensed replacement of the ar utility maintainer: [email protected] status: IGNORE deprecated because: part of the base system expiration date: 2013-02-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=archivers&portname=bsdar portname: astro/weatherget description: Command-line weather reporting tool maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: Broken b/c of weather.com new licensing rules not agreed by author expiration date: 2011-11-04 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=astro&portname=weatherget portname: audio/linux-shoutcast description: Nullsoft's streaming audio server (Linux binary port) maintainer: [email protected] status: BROKEN deprecated because: unfetchable; website rearranged expiration date: 2011-10-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=linux-shoutcast portname: audio/mp3butler description: A program for renaming mp3 files and looking ID3 tags for it maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: Depends on audio/p5-MusicBrainz-Client which is DEPRECATED expiration date: 2011-10-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=mp3butler portname: audio/py-taglib description: Python bindings for the taglib audio file tagging library maintainer: [email protected] deprecated because: Only compatible with Python 2.4.
