--- Comment #10 from Alexey Dokuchaev <danfe@FreeBSD.org> ---
Embree port had been updated to the latest version 3.8.0 as of ports r52572=
4.=20
Python bindings port (graphics/py-embree) is outdated and incompatible with=
 new
3.x API, and was marked as BROKEN accordingly.  Quoting the software author=
s:

> We decided to introduce an improved API in Embree 3 that is
> not backward compatible with the Embree 2 API. This step was
> required to remove various deprecated API functions that
> accumulated over time, improve extensibility of the API, fix
> suboptimal design decisions, fix design mistakes (such as
> incompatible single ray and ray packet layouts), clean up
> inconsistent naming, and increase flexibility.

> To make porting to the new API easy, we provide a conversion
> script that can do most of the work, and will annotate the
> code with remaining changes required. The script can be
> invoked the following way for CPP files:
>=20
>     ./scripts/cpp-patch.py --patch embree2_to_embree3.patch
>       --in infile.cpp --out outfile.cpp

> When invoked for ISPC files, add the `--ispc` option:

Embree support in the `math/py-yt' port was made optional in ports r525712,=
 and
is currently disabled by default until Python bindings would get updated.

Keeping the deprecated API v2 port around does not seem necessary or justif=
ied,
as popular software, e.g. Blender, typically requires v3 libraries these da=
ys.=20
That said, with `math/py-yt' fixed and no other v2 consumers in the tree, I=

closing this PR.
