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, the ports will be deleted. The goal of this posting is to make this process much more visible to the wider FreeBSD community. portname: devel/libhash description: A library for manipulating hash tables maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Download unavailable anymore expiration date: 2006-07-14 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=libhash portname: emulators/linux_base description: Basic packages for Linux mode from Red Hat 7.3/i386 maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: unsupported by upstream, no security support anymore expiration date: 2006-09-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=emulators&portname=linux_base portname: emulators/linux_base-8 description: Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (for i386/amd64) maintainer: freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: unsupported by upstream, no security support anymore expiration date: 2006-09-01 build errors: http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/amd64-errorlogs/e.6.2006022322/linux_base-8-8.0_15.log (Jun 13 18:32:10 UTC 2006) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=emulators&portname=linux_base-8 portname: emulators/linux_base-debian description: Debian base set for the Linux mode maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: unmaintained and does not comply to the linux_base invariants expiration date: 2006-09-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=emulators&portname=linux_base-debian portname: emulators/linux_base-fc3 description: Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (for i386/amd64) maintainer: freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: superseeded by linux_base-fc4 port expiration date: 2006-07-01 build errors: http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/amd64-errorlogs/e.5.2006022500/linux_base-fc-3_3.log (May 18 08:23:44 UTC 2006) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=emulators&portname=linux_base-fc3 portname: emulators/linux_base-rh-9 description: Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (only for i386) maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: unsupported by upstream, no security support anymore expiration date: 2006-09-01 build errors: http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/amd64-errorlogs/e.7.2006042002/linux_base-rh-9.log (Apr 25 16:03:23 UTC 2006) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=emulators&portname=linux_base-rh-9 portname: emulators/linux_base-suse-9.1 description: Basic packages for Linux mode from SUSE 9.1/i386 maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: unmaintained and does not comply to the linux_base invariants expiration date: 2006-09-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=emulators&portname=linux_base-suse-9.1 portname: emulators/linux_base-suse-9.2 description: Basic packages for Linux mode from SUSE 9.2/i386 maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: unmaintained and does not comply to the linux_base invariants expiration date: 2006-09-01 build errors: http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/amd64-errorlogs/e.7.2006042002/linux_base-suse-9.2.log (Apr 25 16:03:23 UTC 2006) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=emulators&portname=linux_base-suse-9.2 portname: emulators/linux_base-suse-9.3 description: Basic packages for Linux mode from SUSE 9.3/i386 maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: unmaintained and does not comply to the linux_base invariants expiration date: 2006-09-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=emulators&portname=linux_base-suse-9.3 portname: graphics/GIFgraph description: A Perl package to generate PNG charts maintainer: ls@gambit.com.ru deprecated because: This module is simply a wrapper around GD::Graph and is deprecated.
