            Bug ID: 268734
           Summary: mail/balsa Balsa port severely outdated
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

I noticed that the FreeBSD Balsa port is severely outdated - ports has vers=
ion
2.5.1, which is a few months shy of ten years old. There have been more tha=
n 10
new releases since, with the latest being 2.6.4, released on 2022-09-20. It
seems rather dangerous to have such an old version still readily available =
to
users as a port/pkg. This applies to all architectures FreeBSD and mail/bal=
sa
is available on.

This is most likely the entirely wrong place to report this, but I have no =
idea
where else to do so, and it does seem to qualify as a bug insofar running s=
uch
an old version is inherently dangerous, especially considering countless ne=
wer
versions are available as part of the GNOME project.

Feel free to scold me if this is the wrong place! It's difficult sometimes =
to
find the right avenue of contact.
