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: 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; consider using lang/open-cobol instead expiration date: 2009-07-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=lang&portname=tinycobol portname: mail/xc-mail description: Mail client for X which supports POP and PGP maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: depends on a port that expired in 2007 expiration date: 2009-06-27 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=mail&portname=xc-mail 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/net-snmp53 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: http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/amd64-errorlogs/e.8.20090325165011/net-snmp-5.3.2.3.log (_Mar_26_20:38:15_UTC_2009) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-mgmt&portname=net-snmp53 portname: security/hashish description: GUI file and string hashing utility maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: does not compile expiration date: 2009-07-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=security&portname=hashish 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: 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/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
