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: databases/p5-sqlrelay description: Perl5 modules to access to SQL Relay, including a DBD interface maintainer: po...@freebsd.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: broken and upstream disapeared expiration date: 2010-12-30 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=databases&portname=p5-sqlrelay portname: dns/fourcdns description: A simple DNS server maintainer: po...@freebsd.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: upstream has disapeared expiration date: 2010-12-30 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=dns&portname=fourcdns portname: emulators/win4bsd description: Win4BSD Virtual Machine for Windows under BSD maintainer: po...@freebsd.org status: BROKEN deprecated because: Development has ceased and distfile is no longer available expiration date: 2010-12-31 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=emulators&portname=win4bsd portname: french/mozilla-flp description: seamonkey French Language Pack (FLP) maintainer: po...@freebsd.org deprecated because: www/seamonkey port is deprecated.
