The branch stable/12 has been updated by emaste: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=3664eb6ff7fa7161fb346c2b7c24c919d84ad6dd commit 3664eb6ff7fa7161fb346c2b7c24c919d84ad6dd Author: Ed Maste <emaste@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2021-03-26 15:26:22 +0000 Commit: Ed Maste <emaste@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2021-12-03 15:17:12 +0000 gvinum: add deprecation notice Vinum is a Logical Volume Manager that was introduced in FreeBSD 3.0, and for FreeBSD 5 was ported to geom(4) as gvinum. gvinum has had no specific development at least as far back as 2010, and has a number of known bugs which are unlikely to be resolved. Add a deprecation notice to raise awareness but state that vinum "may not be" available in FreeBSD 14. Either it will be removed and the notice will be updated to "is not" available, or someone will step up to fix issues and maintain it and we will remove the notice.
