Do remember that BROKEN
and
FORBIDDEN
are to be used as a temporary
resort if a port is not working. Permanently broken ports
will be removed from the tree entirely.
When it makes sense to do so, users can be warned about
a pending port removal with DEPRECATED
and
EXPIRATION_DATE
. The former is a
string stating why the port is scheduled for removal; the latter
is a string in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD). Both will be shown
to the user.
It is possible to set DEPRECATED
without an EXPIRATION_DATE
(for instance,
recommending a newer version of the port), but the converse
does not make any sense.
There is no set policy on how much notice to give. Current practice seems to be one month for security-related issues and two months for build issues. This also gives any interested committers a little time to fix the problems.
