Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-pkg (Nobody) <pkg@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 247953: ports-mgmt/pkg gives annoying messages https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D247953 --- Description --- Periodic pkg audit is a good thing. Unfortunately, it is a bit annoying with some of its warnings. For example, I receive this on a daily basis for mont= hs now: Database fetched: Sat Jul 11 03:38:29 CEST 2020 bind911-9.11.20: Tag: expiration_date Value: 2021-12-31 bind911-9.11.20: Tag: deprecated Value: End of life, please migrate to a newer version of BIND9 Which is rather annoying since the expiration date is still 18 months away!= !! Similar, some ports are completely o.k. for running, only during the build process they are using deprecated tools (notably python 2.7), this gives messages such as: firefox-78.0_2,1: Tag: deprecated Value: Uses Python 2.7 which is EOLed upstream spidermonkey60-60.9.0_3: Tag: deprecated Value: Uses Python 2.7 which is EOLed upstream thunderbird-68.9.0_1: Tag: deprecated Value: Uses Python 2.7 which is EOL= ed upstream Note that these packages do not use Python to run, only to build. The attached patch allows to filter this using the nobs: security_status_pkgaudit_expiration=3D"NO" security_status_pkgaudit_deprecation=3D"NO" that can be put in periodic.conf I would really appreciated if this patch can make it in the system. p.s.: a better solution might be to add a time window, e.g. warn me only if= a expatriation date of a pkg is less than 3 months away. However, I do not kn= ow how to do that in sh/bash.
