Sorry, but developers run -current, so you are out of luck. Releases are just for selling CD's anyway. If you are running desktop, I recommend you to use -current. I just wanna name some Ports who are propably in use by many users out there (all Ports I list here do have sec. problems): - flac (1.2.1 is avaiable for current and fixes the Bufferoverflows) - xvid (well 1.0.3 is in the Ports, has a buffer overflow if I remember correctly, 1.1.2 is avaiable at the website) - mozilla-firefox (2.0.0.9 is avaiable for current) - xpdf (update is avaiable for current) And if you own a Webserver you're propably more interested into pcre or php updates. During the media libaries propably also mplayer and others are affected. Because the fixes where applied to current I guess more testing is propably needed. So that's a more general request how to help the maintainers. Kind regards, Sebastian p.s. Openoffice is something special I guess :-/

AFAIK there was 0 response to Nikolay's mail about stable ports, so apparently nobody is interested.
