hi,
fyi, below is a list of packages which are going to be purged from the
pkgsrc tree before 2006Q3 branch is cut along with reasons for doing so.
- Mozilla and friends
www/mozilla
www/mozilla-bin
www/mozilla-bin-nightly
www/mozilla-gtk2
www/moz-bin-plugger
multimedia/mplayer-plugin-mozilla
multimedia/mplayer-plugin-mozilla-gtk2
multimedia/moz-bin-flash
multimedia/moz-flash
No longer developed upstream, notoriously vulnerable, won't ever be
fixed. There is www/seamonkey whish aims to be Mozilla suite
replacement.
- GNU Zebra
net/zebra
No longer developed upstream, literally for years. Vulnerable, nobody
stepped up to fix it. Use net/quagga.
- Cube
games/cube
No longer supported upstream, contains several security
vulnerabilities which according to its authors won't ever be fixed.
- Quake 3
games/quake3arena
games/quake3arena-demo
games/quake3server
games/quake3server-excessive
games/quake3server-osp
games/quake3server-ra3
games/quake3server-ut
Abandoned upstream, numerous security vulnerabilities which will be
unlikely ever fixed.
regards,
