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: biology/boinc-simap description: Similarity Matrix of Proteins project for BOINC maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: Project shutting down, see http://boincsimap.org/boincsimap/forum_thread.php?id=88 expiration date: 2015-01-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=biology&portname=boinc-simap portname: databases/jasperreports description: JasperReports is a powerful open source Java reporting tool maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: Depends on expiring textproc/apache-poi expiration date: 2014-09-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=databases&portname=jasperreports portname: lang/clay description: Language designed for generic programming maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: No development since July 2013, depends on obsolete clang-3.2 expiration date: 2014-12-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=lang&portname=clay portname: mail/p5-Email-Stuff description: More casual approach to creating and sending Email maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: Deprecated in favour of mail/p5-Email-Stuffer expiration date: 2014-10-15 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=mail&portname=p5-Email-Stuff portname: net-mgmt/angst description: Active sniffer maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: Depends on expired net/libnet10 expiration date: 2014-09-30 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-mgmt&portname=angst portname: net-mgmt/sing description: Tool for sending customized ICMP packets maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: Depends on expired net/libnet10 expiration date: 2014-09-30 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-mgmt&portname=sing portname: net-p2p/cdonkey description: Open and free core client for the eDonkey protocol maintainer: po...@freebsd.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: depends on deprecated db41 version expiration date: 2014-09-30 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-p2p&portname=cdonkey portname: net/despoof description: Command-line anti-spoofing detection utility maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: Depends on expired net/libnet10 expiration date: 2014-09-30 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net&portname=despoof portname: net/libnet10 description: C library for creating IP packets maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: Superseded by net/libnet expiration date: 2014-08-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net&portname=libnet10 portname: net/xboxproxy description: Proxy for the XBox system link protocol maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: Depends on expired net/libnet10 expiration date: 2014-09-30 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net&portname=xboxproxy portname: security/zombiezapper description: Send a terminate command to Trinoo/TFN/Stacheldracht DDoS agents maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: Depends on expired net/libnet10 expiration date: 2014-09-30 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=security&portname=zombiezapper portname: textproc/apache-poi description: Java API To Access Microsoft Format Files maintainer: po...@freebsd.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Broken for more than 6 months expiration date: 2014-09-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=textproc&portname=apache-poi portname: textproc/sxml description: Skimpy XML parsing and grafting library for C language maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: expiration date: 2014-08-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=textproc&portname=sxml portname: www/rt38 description: RT is an industrial-grade ticketing system written in Perl maintainer: po...@freebsd.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Has expired: End of Life March 2014 expiration date: 2014-10-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=www&portname=rt38 portname: www/squid33 description: HTTP Caching Proxy maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: Reached EOL on 28 August 2014, use www/squid (v3.4) instead expiration date: 2015-01-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=www&portname=squid33 _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
