next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
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: astro/gkrellmearth description: A plugin for GKrellM that displays a rotating earth maintainer: pat@FreeBSD.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: mastersite disappeared, no longer maintained by author expiration date: 2005-12-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=astro&portname=gkrellmearth portname: audio/cd2mp3 description: Easy to use CD Ripping and MP3 Encoding tool maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Unfetchable expiration date: 2006-01-24 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=cd2mp3 portname: audio/mutemix description: Adjusts a mixer maintainer: trevor@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: mastersite disappeared, no longer maintained by author expiration date: 2005-12-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=mutemix portname: audio/mziq description: A Perl frontend to mpg123 maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: mastersite disappeared, no longer maintained by author expiration date: 2005-12-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=mziq portname: audio/radio description: Radio over the Internet maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: mastersite disappeared, no longer maintained by author expiration date: 2005-12-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=radio portname: audio/sbagen description: A sequenced binaural wave generator maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: 1.0.8 is the 2000 version, 1.4.3 is current.
