Unfortunately, = portaudit was removed from ports on October 13th[0]. The commit that removed it says that =E2=80=9Cpkg audit=E2=80=9D should = be used instead ("portaudit expired when pkg_tools did, use pkg = audit=E2=80=9D), but as someone pretty new to FreeBSD, it=E2=80=99s not = clear that this would be appropriate for ports usage. Is =E2=80=9Cpkg = audit=E2=80=9D appropriate? The language in the warning section of this = Handbook section suggests that =E2=80=9Cpkg audit=E2=80=9D isn=E2=80=99t = appropriate outside of package use. If =E2=80=9Cpkg audit=E2=80=9D = isn=E2=80=99t appropriate, what should be used instead? -Jacob [0] = https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/commit/a3523a34bbef563b0b50709f38= 4729fa04bcbb77
