Well, the problem is that we (FreeBSD) can't guarantee whether the contents of a resulting package are secure or not, or really, what the contents are at all. I personally would only be comfortable with a default setting of NO_PACKAGE in this case. Individual users could manually override it. I don't know if there is a formal policy about such ports. Probably, there ought to be. mcl _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
