From 1fc26d9baa115e811031a762a2a0109e7dc28c07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andriy Gapon Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2025 12:34:46 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] sysutils/memtest86+: deprecate the port and set expiration date The crown jewel of the port, an ELF binary that could be booted by FreeBSD BIOS boot-chain, has been broken for a long while now. Besides, most systems use EFI boot now and the EFI binary available from the upstream can be used on those systems. Also, many systems based on coreboot provide built-in memtest86+. So, the port no longer serves any useful purpose. --- sysutils/memtest86+/Makefile | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/sysutils/memtest86+/Makefile b/sysutils/memtest86+/Makefile index d7af147888cf..ba427a6c100a 100644 --- a/sysutils/memtest86+/Makefile +++ b/sysutils/memtest86+/Makefile @@ -16,6 +16,9 @@ USES= gmake ALL_TARGET= all PORTDOCS= * +DEPRECATED= ELF binary for BIOS boot has been broken for a long while +EXPIRATION_DATE=2025-07-31 + USE_GCC= yes:build # Please provide absolute path below (cannot be root)
