Description Dmitry Marakasov freebsd_committer

First, hgrep doesn't build on amd64 10.x+:

---
cc -O -ansi -pedantic -fpcc-struct-return   -c hgrep.c
cc: error: unsupported option '-fpcc-struct-return' for target 'x86_64-unknown-freebsd10.1'
*** [hgrep.o] Error code 1

make[1]: stopped in /wrkdirs/usr/ports/textproc/hgrep/work/hgrep
1 error

make[1]: stopped in /wrkdirs/usr/ports/textproc/hgrep/work/hgrep
---

there's an update from 2014 on hgpep homepage which fixes it:

http://www.acme.com/software/hgrep/

However I coudn't bring either version to highlight anything, it just pipes grep output through. Do we really need this port, while grep supports --color option which does highlighting reliably out of box?

(Original Maintainer here)

Please remove this port entirely. There's really no use-case for this tool anymore. FreeBSD has grep with coloring.

Log:
  - Mark broken on 10.x+ amd64:

  cc: error: unsupported option '-fpcc-struct-return' for target 'x86_64-unknown-freebsd10.1'

  - Mark deprecated and set expiration data in T + 1 month: the port is no longer useful as base grep has coloring support
