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: audio/gai-album description: A GAI dockapp that works with xmms to display album covers maintainer: l...@freebsd.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: abandoned project, does not build expiration date: 2009-07-07 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=gai-album portname: audio/gai-visual-audio description: A GAI dockapp for displaying xmms visualizations maintainer: l...@redundancy.redundancy.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: abandoned project, does not build expiration date: 2009-07-07 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=audio&portname=gai-visual-audio portname: databases/firebird-client description: The open-source InterBase(tm) 6.0 spin-off (client) maintainer: s...@freebsd.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: no longer under development, please consider using Firebird2 expiration date: 2009-02-24 build errors: http://pointyhat.FreeBSD.org/errorlogs/amd64-errorlogs/e.6.20090706085018/firebird-client-1.5.5.log (_Jul__6_13:12:21_UTC_2009) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=databases&portname=firebird-client portname: databases/firebird-server description: The open-source InterBase(tm) 6.0 spin-off (Classic version) maintainer: s...@freebsd.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: no longer under development, please consider using Firebird2 expiration date: 2009-02-24 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=databases&portname=firebird-server portname: deskutils/plasma-applet-quicklauncher description: Quicklauncher plasma applet for KDE4 maintainer: bsdkaf...@gmail.com status: BROKEN deprecated because: Abandoned upstream, use Quicklaunch applet included with KDE 4.2 expiration date: 2009-07-10 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=deskutils&portname=plasma-applet-quicklauncher portname: devel/linxt description: Perl script for controlling Lego NXT brick maintainer: jwba...@tds.net deprecated because: Use devel/roboctl instead. expiration date: 2009-07-05 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=linxt portname: games/amy description: A chess program for playing and analyzing games maintainer: po...@freebsd.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: mastersite disappeared, does not build on recent version expiration date: 2009-07-28 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=games&portname=amy portname: german/citrix_ica description: Citrix(R) Presentation Server(TM) client maintainer: tabtho...@freebsd.org deprecated because: Use net/citrix_ica expiration date: 2007-08-22 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=german&portname=citrix_ica portname: japanese/citrix_ica description: Citrix(R) Presentation Server(TM) client maintainer: tabtho...@freebsd.org deprecated because: Use net/citrix_ica expiration date: 2007-08-22 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=japanese&portname=citrix_ica portname: lang/tcl80 description: Tool Command Language maintainer: m...@freebsd.org deprecated because: tcl8.0 support is going to be dropped expiration date: 2009-03-22 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=lang&portname=tcl80 portname: lang/tinycobol description: A tiny COBOL compiler for IA32 platforms maintainer: po...@freebsd.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: no longer being developed;
