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: graphics/lphoto description: A complete desktop solution for digital photo management maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: broken expiration date: 2010-03-30 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=graphics&portname=lphoto portname: net-mgmt/net-snmp4 description: An extendable SNMP implementation maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Use net-mgmt/net-snmp port instead expiration date: 2009-07-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-mgmt&portname=net-snmp4 portname: net-p2p/javadc description: Open source Java DirectConnect (TM) command-line client maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: is ancient, unmaintained, works only with JDK 1.3, no master site expiration date: 2010-08-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-p2p&portname=javadc portname: net/pathchar description: LBNL Internet path characterization tool maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: has been broken for 2+ years, no sources available expiration date: 2010-09-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net&portname=pathchar portname: sysutils/aaccli description: Adaptec SCSI RAID administration tool maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: see sysutils/arcconf instead, no longer maintained by Adaptec expiration date: 2010-05-11 build errors: http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/ia64-errorlogs/e.8.20100305224420/aaccli-1.0.log.bz2 (_Feb_23_14:20:04_UTC_2010) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=sysutils&portname=aaccli portname: textproc/py-xmltools description: High level XML tools for Python maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: has been broken for 4 months expiration date: 2010-01-08 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=textproc&portname=py-xmltools portname: www/linux-nvu description: A complete Web Authoring System maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: NVU 1.0, released June 2005, is the last official release of NVU.
