Hi!
Below find a list of packages that I suggest could be removed
from pkgsrc.
Please let me know if you disagree and/or want to fix any of them.
I'll wait at least a week for comments.
Ok, here they are:
Obsoleted by ttmkfdir2:
fonts/ttmkfdir
Included in both XFree86 and x.org:
fonts/mkfontscale
Obsoleted by misc/openoffice{,-bin}:
misc/staroffice
Not available any longer:
net/ipv6socket_scrub
Not available?
net/nprobe
Does not compile with gcc3, replaced by gtl:
devel/gtl0
Dependency of the former, no update to use gtl available:
math/cassowary
Replaced by cfengine2:
sysutils/cfengine
Last updated in 2003 (replaced by mysql4 packages)
and has known vulnerabilities:
mysql3*
Broken in 2.0 bulk builds in September and still in February.
I.e. not working with gcc3, and noone stepped up to fix them.
Volunteers?
