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: devel/callgrind description: Valgrind skin for cache simulation and call tracing maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Included in devel/valgrind expiration date: 2009-10-30 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=callgrind portname: lang/gcl description: GNU Common Lisp maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: fails to build on FreeBSD 7.x expiration date: 2010-01-12 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=lang&portname=gcl portname: net-mgmt/net-snmp4 description: An extendable SNMP implementation maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org 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-mgmt/p5-SNMP description: A perl5 module for interfacing with the CMU SNMP library maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Perl SNMP module is now a part of net-mgmt/net-snmp expiration date: 2009-08-15 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-mgmt&portname=p5-SNMP portname: www/jakarta-tomcat4 description: Open-source Java web server by Apache, stable 4.0.x branch maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: www/jakarta-tomcat5 is recommended instead for new installations expiration date: 2009-01-12 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=www&portname=jakarta-tomcat4 portname: www/jakarta-tomcat5 description: Open-source Java web server by Apache, 5.0.x branch maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Old version, consider using www/tomcat55 or www/tomcat6 instead expiration date: 2009-01-12 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=www&portname=jakarta-tomcat5 portname: www/mod_auth_mysql41_ap2 description: MySQL 4.1 and Apache 2 port of mod_auth_mysql maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: distfile no longer fetchable expiration date: 2009-10-17 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=www&portname=mod_auth_mysql41_ap2 portname: x11-toolkits/gtkscintilla description: A wrapper for the Scintilla editing component maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: no longer under development, last release in 2002 expiration date: 2009-10-13 build errors: http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-errorlogs/e.6.20090822221417/gtkscintilla-0.8.2_6.log (_Aug_16_11:57:48_UTC_2009) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=x11-toolkits&portname=gtkscintilla portname: x11-toolkits/p5-Gnome description: The main Gnome module of Gtk-Perl maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Has been broken for more than 6 months expiration date: 2008-09-19 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=x11-toolkits&portname=p5-Gnome portname: x11-toolkits/py-gtkscintilla description: A Python bindings for gtkscintilla library maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: no longer under development, last release in 2002 expiration date: 2009-10-13 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=x11-toolkits&portname=py-gtkscintilla portname: x11-toolkits/xclasses description: C++ layout library for X maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Version branch long since retired expiration date: 2007-10-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=x11-toolkits&portname=xclasses
