Often, these ports are so marked due to security concerns, such as known exploits. An overview of the port, including errors seen on the build farm, is included below. portname: graphics/xpcd forbidden because: is an abandoned project and might be vulnerable build errors: http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-errorlogs/e.7.2007070212/xpcd-2.09_1.log (Jun 24 04:44:02 UTC 2007) overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=graphics&portname=xpcd portname: misc/compat3x forbidden because: FreeBSD-SA-03:05.xdr, FreeBSD-SA-03:08.realpath - not fixed / no lib available build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=misc&portname=compat3x portname: sysutils/eject forbidden because: Setuid root and has security issues build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=sysutils&portname=eject If this problem is one that you are already aware of, please accept our apologies and ignore this message. On the other hand, if you no longer wish to maintain this port (or ports), please reply with a message stating that, and accept our thanks for your efforts in the past. Thanks for your efforts to help improve FreeBSD.
