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: archivers/bsdar description: BSD-licensed replacement of the ar utility maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: part of the base system expiration date: 2013-02-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=archivers&portname=bsdar portname: audio/linux-alsa-lib description: The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture libraries maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: expiration date: 2013-02-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=linux-alsa-lib portname: audio/linux-arts description: Audio system for the KDE integrated X11 desktop (Linux version) maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: expiration date: 2013-02-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=linux-arts portname: audio/linux-freealut description: A free implementation of OpenAL's ALUT standard (Linux version) maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: expiration date: 2013-02-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=linux-freealut portname: audio/linux-libmad description: Libmad library (part of MAD project) maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: expiration date: 2013-02-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=linux-libmad portname: audio/linux-libogg description: Ogg bitstream library (Linux version) maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: expiration date: 2013-02-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=linux-libogg portname: audio/linux-libvorbis description: Audio compression codec library (Linux version) maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: expiration date: 2013-02-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=linux-libvorbis portname: audio/linux-openal description: A 3D positional spatialized sound library (Linux version) maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: expiration date: 2013-02-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=linux-openal portname: databases/libudbc description: Openlink UDBC SDK maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Does not fetch and no vendor support anymore expiration date: 2012-08-12 build errors: http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/i386-errorlogs/e.7.20120731073932/libudbc-4.1.log (_Aug__2_00:21:36_UTC_2012) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=databases&portname=libudbc portname: devel/libgetline description: A small, portable, and easy to use command line library maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Upstream disapear and distfile is no more available expiration date: 2013-02-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=libgetline portname: graphics/linux-cairo description: Linux cairo binary maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: expiration date: 2013-02-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=graphics&portname=linux-cairo portname: graphics/linux-gdk-pixbuf description: Linux version of the graphic library for GTK+ maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: expiration date: 2013-02-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=graphics&portname=linux-gdk-pixbuf portname: java/sun-wtk description: Sun J2ME Wireless Toolkit maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: no more public distfiles, merged with Java ME SDK 3.0 upstream expiration date: 2013-01-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=java&portname=sun-wtk
