A little shorter: FreeBSD Port Security Advisory 1) puts the package name first indicating it's *probably* a problem with the package itself, and in any case only matters if you are running that package 2) says it contains *specific* advice for people running the FreeBSD port (as I hope the content would)! 3) contains the advisory number at the end, when this is the least significant data in the header, but useful for indexing archives Alternatively: FreeBSD Port of : Security Advisory changes the emphasis a bit between the "FreeBSD" and the "" but still indicated it's the that's significant. Tiny gramatical connectives can help getting the sense over sometimes; too often we don't actually write in English. -- David Pick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
