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, the ports will be deleted. The goal of this posting is to make this process much more visible to the wider FreeBSD community. portname: devel/linux_devtools description: Packages needed for doing development in Linux mode maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] deprecated because: the dependcy is deprecated, please use a linux_dist port instead expiration date: 2006-09-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=linux_devtools portname: devel/openorb description: Java implementation of the OMG CORBA 2.4.2 specification maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] deprecated because: not really maintained anymore (last beta version is 2 years old) expiration date: 2006-08-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=openorb portname: devel/py-ui description: A user interface library written in Python maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] deprecated because: PyUI does not work with well with current versions of graphics/py-opengl and has not been developed in over two years.
