Dear FreeBSD port maintainer: 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/libsigc++ description: Callback Framework for C++ maintainer: gnome@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Abandoned upstream, no more depending ports expiration date: 2012-10-20 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=libsigc%2B%2B portname: x11-toolkits/gal description: A collection of widgets taken from GNOME gnumeric and evolution maintainer: gnome@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Developement ceased, and nothing in the ports tree uses it anymore expiration date: 2012-10-13 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=x11-toolkits&portname=gal portname: x11-toolkits/gtkmm12 description: C++ wrapper for gtk, a x11 graphics library maintainer: gnome@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Abandoned upstream, no more depending ports expiration date: 2012-10-20 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=x11-toolkits&portname=gtkmm12 If this problem is one that you are already aware of, please accept our apologies and ignore this message. On the other hand, if you no longer wish to maintain this port (or ports), please reply with a message stating that, and accept our thanks for your efforts in the past. Thanks for your efforts to help improve FreeBSD.
