The package repository will now build SSP by default as well. SSP is "Stack Smashing Protection" and can be read about at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow_protection. This only applies to the head (/latest) packages, not the Quarterly branch packages. This applies to the ports checkout that portsnap uses. WITHOUT_SSP can be defined in make.conf to not use this feature. SSP will be used to build ports (with -fstack-protector) on all amd64 releases and i386 releases which are 10.0 or newer. The "ssp" repository and "new_xorg" repositories will no longer be updated after 11/15 as they are no longer needed as both are default for ports now. Please update your repository configurations to now only track the /latest repository. This is the default from /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf. Remove any overrides from /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/ for the "ssp" or "new_xorg" repositories. Regards, Bryan Drewery on behalf of portmgr
