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: databases/firebird-client description: The open-source InterBase(tm) 6.0 spin-off (client) maintainer: skv@FreeBSD.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: no longer under development, please consider using Firebird2 expiration date: 2009-02-24 build errors: http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/amd64-errorlogs/e.6.20090708085814/firebird-client-1.5.5.log.bz2 (_May_29_05:56:50_UTC_2009) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=databases&portname=firebird-client portname: databases/firebird-server description: The open-source InterBase(tm) 6.0 spin-off (Classic version) maintainer: skv@FreeBSD.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: no longer under development, please consider using Firebird2 expiration date: 2009-02-24 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=databases&portname=firebird-server portname: devel/p5-Algorithm-MDiff description: Perl interface to calculate m-difference between two objects maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: the module was removed from CPAN expiration date: 2009-09-09 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=p5-Algorithm-MDiff portname: devel/p5-Data-Postponed description: Delay the evaluation of expressions to allow changes to variables maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: the module was removed from CPAN expiration date: 2009-09-09 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=p5-Data-Postponed portname: games/amy description: A chess program for playing and analyzing games maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: mastersite disappeared, does not build on recent version expiration date: 2009-07-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=games&portname=amy portname: lang/tinycobol description: A tiny COBOL compiler for IA32 platforms maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: no longer being developed;
