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, the ports will be deleted. The goal of this posting is to make this process much more visible to the wider FreeBSD community. portname: databases/gnats description: Cygnus GNATS bug tracking system maintainer: ceri@FreeBSD.org status: FORBIDDEN deprecated because: Compilation errors and security issues expiration date: 2004-08-20 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.firepipe.net/portoverview.py?category=databases&portname=gnats portname: databases/postgresql72 description: The most advanced open-source database available anywhere maintainer: girgen@pingpong.net deprecated because: Switch to postgresql 7.3.x/7.4.x, doing a full db dump/restore expiration date: 2005-01-01 build errors: http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/ia64-errorlogs/e.6.2004110821/postgresql-7.2.6.log (Dec 2 19:53:40 UTC 2004) overview: http://portsmon.firepipe.net/portoverview.py?category=databases&portname=postgresql72 portname: emulators/linux-mupen64 description: A Nintendo 64 emulator (Linux version) maintainer: tlp@liquidx.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: supplanted by native version in emulators/mupen64 expiration date: 2004-12-06 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.firepipe.net/portoverview.py?category=emulators&portname=linux-mupen64 portname: japanese/netscape48-communicator description: Netscape web-surfboard with Japanese resources maintainer: sada@FreeBSD.org status: FORBIDDEN deprecated because: multiple vulnerabilities with no hope of fixes expiration date: 2004-12-07 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.firepipe.net/portoverview.py?category=japanese&portname=netscape48-communicator portname: japanese/netscape48-navigator description: Netscape web-surfboard with Japanese resources maintainer: sada@FreeBSD.org status: FORBIDDEN deprecated because: multiple vulnerabilities with no hope of fixes expiration date: 2004-12-07 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.firepipe.net/portoverview.py?category=japanese&portname=netscape48-navigator portname: korean/netscape48-communicator description: Netscape web-surfboard with Korean resources maintainer: cjh@FreeBSD.org status: FORBIDDEN deprecated because: multiple vulnerabilities with no hope of fixes expiration date: 2004-12-07 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.firepipe.net/portoverview.py?category=korean&portname=netscape48-communicator portname: korean/netscape48-navigator description: Netscape web-surfboard with Korean resources maintainer: cjh@FreeBSD.org status: FORBIDDEN deprecated because: multiple vulnerabilities with no hope of fixes expiration date: 2004-12-07 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.firepipe.net/portoverview.py?category=korean&portname=netscape48-navigator portname: net/openldap21-client description: Open source LDAP client implementation maintainer: eik@FreeBSD.org deprecated because: EOL, no longer actively maintained by the OpenLDAP Project.
