Broken FreeBSD Ports Scheduled for Removal

Posted by michael on from the tick-tock-tick-tock dept.

Dan writes "FreeBSD's Kris Kennaway says that the following FreeBSD ports are scheduled for removal on November 7 if they are still broken at that time and no PRs have been submitted to fix them. If you are interested in saving these ports, please send your patches to the maintainer. If the maintainer is unresponsive or the port has no maintainer, then please submit them via send-pr."

  1. Fix 'em if you want! by Piquan · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If a port is important to you, then fix it! Many of these ports only require trivial changes. So far today, I've submitted fixes for two of the ports that I want to live: games/xpuyo and emulators/its. Both only required simple changes.
