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: po...@freebsd.org 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: devel/kdevelop description: IDE for a wide variety of programming tasks maintainer: po...@freebsd.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: expiration date: 2011-11-30 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=kdevelop portname: devel/libgetline description: A small, portable, and easy to use command line library maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: Upstream disapear and distfile is no more available expiration date: 2013-02-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=libgetline portname: multimedia/avifile description: AVI player/converter with numerous codecs, including MPEG-4(DivX ;-)) maintainer: po...@freebsd.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Broken for an extended period, superseded by other multimedia players expiration date: 2011-12-03 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=multimedia&portname=avifile portname: net-im/gicq description: GTK based ICQ program maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: Runtime is broken.
