Alexey, I call again for a simple bump to this port, until such time as the more complex improvements can be made. They are not mutually exclusive. >From bsdstats data[1], at least 160 people could immediately benefit from a quick bump. Of 206 installs, 160 of them are at the latest ports version (jumbo-5), three are rolling it themselves to get jumbo-6 or -7, and the rest can't/won't update. For about ten minutes of work, that's a really good force multiplier. Please, please update security/john to -jumbo7. Royce 1. http://bsdstats.org/ports.php?category=77&software=5304
