Date: Thu, 09 Nov 2000 14:49:52 -0800 Message-ID: <21255.973810192@winston.osd.bsdi.com> From: Jordan Hubbard Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Argh. People keep making ports interactive for "security" reasons but then forget that interactive packages are not handled by sysinstall and should be marked IS_INTERACTIVE so that I can keep them off the CD. I'll remove the pine port from the final CD image, but this goes for any other ports which do the same thing. :-( - Jordan > Hello all, > > I tried the 4.2 beta ISO and found a problem with the pine package. > When installed from sysinstall, pine will attempt to warn about its > security issues and ask for confirmation.
