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. problems installing 4.6 from iso image by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    I d/l the iso image for disc 1 of freebsd-4.6, but cannot get it to install. The install fails during the installation of the ports collection with a cpio error. I tried installing 4.5 from a cd I have, and it installed fine, so I dont think its my hd. I've burned 3 copies and all three die at the same time, about 16% through installing the ports. I've checked the md5sum and it matches for the d/l, but is it possible something happened during the d/l and the file is corrupt? Are there any others with the same problem?

    And, with good reason. The 'main' 'supported' phone card out of Au doesn't work.

    The card hasn't worked for years.
