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: archivers/py-tarfile description: Python library for reading and writing tarballs maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: all development activity in this port has been merged into mainline python after 2.4 expiration date: 2010-08-07 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=archivers&portname=py-tarfile portname: devel/codeville description: An "anarchic" control version system without unnecessary re-merges maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: Dead project. expiration date: 2010-08-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=codeville portname: devel/maven description: Java project management and project comprehension tool maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: Development has been ceased, superseded by devel/maven2. expiration date: 2010-10-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=maven portname: editors/staroffice52 description: Integrated wordprocessor/dbase/spreadheet/drawing/chart/browser maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: sources not available, requires /proc expiration date: 2010-09-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=editors&portname=staroffice52 portname: editors/staroffice60 description: Wordprocessor/dbase/spreadheet/drawing/chart maintainer: po...@freebsd.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: sources not available expiration date: 2010-09-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=editors&portname=staroffice60 portname: editors/staroffice70 description: Wordprocessor/dbase/spreadheet/drawing/chart maintainer: po...@freebsd.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: sources not available, requires /proc expiration date: 2010-09-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=editors&portname=staroffice70 portname: french/staroffice52 description: Suite bureautique integree maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: sources not available expiration date: 2010-09-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=french&portname=staroffice52 portname: german/staroffice52 description: Integrated wordprocessor/dbase/spreadheet/drawing/chart/browser maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: sources not available expiration date: 2010-09-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=german&portname=staroffice52 portname: german/staroffice70 description: Wordprocessor/dbase/spreadheet/drawing/chart maintainer: po...@freebsd.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: sources not available expiration date: 2010-09-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=german&portname=staroffice70 portname: graphics/lphoto description: A complete desktop solution for digital photo management maintainer: po...@freebsd.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: broken expiration date: 2010-03-30 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=graphics&portname=lphoto portname: java/simplicity description: Extremely powerful and extremely simple RAD IDE for Java maintainer: po...@freebsd.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: sources not available expiration date: 2010-09-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=java&portname=simplicity portname: lang/icc7 description: Intels C/C++ compiler, set up to produce native FreeBSD binaries maintainer: po...@freebsd.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: sources not available expiration date: 2010-09-01 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=lang&portname=icc7 portname: mail/ngmp description: A full AJAX based web app for messaging and collaboration maintainer: po...@freebsd.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: does not compile and no longer supported by upstream expiration date: 2010-08-18 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=mail&portname=ngmp portname: multimedia/clive-utils description: Passwords, RSS parsing, and link extraction for clive maintainer: po...@freebsd.org status: IGNORE deprecated because: development has ceased;
