    55=== rpm and deb packages ===
    6 r123004
     6r123004 (unreleased, planned to be released in MacPorts 2.4.0)
    77 This leaves pkg and mpkg packages. As the pkg and mpkg package formats are proprietary, and the rpm and deb packages are free and open, this might be a candidate for one of those cases mentioned above where bringing them back could be desirable, although it would require someone to put forth the extra maintenance effort required...

    99=== `rpm-vercomp` function ===
    10 r123005
     10r123005 (unreleased, planned to be released in MacPorts 2.4.0)
    1111 As the `vercmp` function seems to be a 1-for-1 replacement for it, this one should not be too big of a deal.
    1212
    1313=== Building against a custom installation of Tcl ===
    14 r117621, r117623
     14r117621, r117623 (released in MacPorts 2.3.0)
    1515 This was because MacPorts now installs its own copy of Tcl instead. MacPorts now controls its Tcl installation, as well as all the other Tcl packages that it needs. Specifically, this involved removing the following configure flags:
    1616    - `--with-tcl`
    … …  
    2121 
    2222=== Remote indices ===
    23 r109659
     23r109659 (Released in MacPorts 2.3.0)
    2424 - Remote SQL index via mports:// source type
    2525 - Remote PortIndex fetched via http or ftp
    … …  
    2727
    2828=== xpkg archive type ===
    29 r105002
     29r105002 (Released in MacPorts 2.2.0)
     30 The xpkg type was a xar-based format with xml. The support for it had never been quite as strong as some of the other formats...
    3031
    3132=== submit target ===
    32 r103400
     33r103400 (Released in MacPorts 2.2.0)
    3334 - generation of 'portpkg' containing Portfile, files/ and metadata
    3435 - 'submit' target that uploads portpkg to a server, allowing users to submit new ports
    … …  
    3637
    3738=== flat registry support ===
    38 r79070, r79444, r106615
     39r77681, r79070, r79444, r106615 (the first of those was released in MacPorts 2.0.0, the rest were not mentioned in the ChangeLog...)
    3940 The flat registry code itself was not removed in these commits since it was still needed to convert existing flat registries to sqlite, but all the other code that enabled use of the flat registry was removed.
    4041
    4142=== direct mode ===
    42 r77511
     43r77511 (Released in MacPorts 2.0.0)
    4344 Option to install files directly into their final location without having a port image. Deactivation of ports without uninstalling was thus not possible in this mode. The commit contains a lot more changes than just removing this feature since its primary purpose was to switch to using archives for port images.
