Dear FreeBSD port maintainer: As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the number of problems in the FreeBSD ports system, we are attempting to notify maintainers of ports that are marked as BROKEN by the Makefiles. In many cases these ports are failing to compile on some subset of the FreeBSD build environments. The most common problem is that the latest -CURRENT includes gcc3.3, which is much stricter about such things as function declarations, literal strings constants that continue over several physical lines, and forcing the deprecation of antique header files such as varargs.h (we should now be using stdargs.h). The next most common problem is that compiles succeed on the i386 architecture (e.g. the common Intel PC), but fail on one or more of the other architectures due to assumptions about things such as size of various types, byte-alignment issues, and so forth. In occasional cases we see that the same port may have different errors in different build environments. The script that runs on the build cluster uses heuristics to try to 'guess' the error type to help you isolate problems, but it is only a rough guide. If you need help in one ore more build environments that you do not have access to, please ask for help on the freebsd-ports mailing list. The build errors are listed below. In the case where the same problem exists on more than one build environment, the URL points to the latest errorlog for that type. (By 'build environment' here we mean 'combination of 4.x or 5.x, with target architecture'.) portname: audio/fcplay build errors: <a href="http://bento.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/sparc64-5-full/fcplay-0.0.1_1.log">compiler error</a> (Nov 11 22:58:02 GMT 2003) portname: audio/quelcom build errors: <a href="http://bento.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/alpha-5-full/quelcom-0.3.0_1.log">bad C++ code</a> (Dec 1 08:28:46 GMT 2003) portname: audio/rebler build errors: <a href="http://bento.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/i386-5-full/rebler-1.0.log">compiler error</a> (Dec 1 12:06:51 GMT 2003) portname: benchmarks/postal build errors: <a href="http://bento.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/sparc64-5-full/postal-0.62.log">???</a>;

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. Every effort has been made to make sure that these build errors really do correspond to a port that you maintain. However, due to the fact that this is an automated process, it may indeed generate false matches. If one of these build errors fits that description, please forward this email to the author of this software, Mark Linimon <linimon@lonesome.com>, so that he can attempt to fix the problem in the future. Thanks for your efforts to help improve FreeBSD.
