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: biology/boinc-simap description: Similarity Matrix of Proteins project for BOINC maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Project shutting down, see http://boincsimap.org/boincsimap/forum_thread.php?id=88 expiration date: 2015-01-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=biology&portname=boinc-simap portname: devel/preps-gui description: Problem reporting system maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: upstream disappeared expiration date: 2014-12-15 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=preps-gui portname: devel/prepstools description: Problem reporting system maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: upstream disappeared expiration date: 2014-12-15 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=prepstools portname: ports-mgmt/portcheckout description: Checkout and build ports and all depending ports maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Uses ports cvs repo, which is long gone expiration date: 2015-01-06 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=ports-mgmt&portname=portcheckout portname: science/mpb description: MIT Photonic-Bands maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Broken for more than 6 months expiration date: 2014-12-27 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=science&portname=mpb portname: www/squid33 description: HTTP Caching Proxy maintainer: ports@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: Reached EOL on 28 August 2014, use www/squid (v3.4) instead expiration date: 2015-01-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=www&portname=squid33
