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?
