--u3/rZRmxL6MmkK24 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline For the past month I've been sending warnings to maintainers of ports that have broken pkg-plists (i.e. leave behind files after deinstallation). Now that we've passed the 4.11-RELEASE freeze, it's a good time to take this to the next level and begin phasing in strict enforcement of pkg-plist correctness. What this means is that the port build will now fail on the package cluster if certain kinds of files are left behind (to avoid false positives I will be phasing in matching of the 'extra file list' with a set of regexps that will be added to over time). Thus, your package will no longer appear on the ftp site, will be marked BROKEN="Incomplete pkg-plist" and will eventually be scheduled for removal should the problem continue to be ignored by the maintainer. If you are the maintainer of an affected port, you will have already received mail from me detailing the missing files. If you've already submitted a PR containing a fix, you don't have anything further to worry about (although you might like to send a reminder to ports@ if you think it's been overlooked). If you haven't yet addressed the problems, please do so ASAP. Thanks, Kris "Ports Janitor" Kennaway --u3/rZRmxL6MmkK24 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFB5ZHSWry0BWjoQKURAmWxAJ4yZrfOFHGLEGgMv1tuKtUYHsjWEgCfQ2p5 8y37fjAd77bwSwvGsiEQjVw= =yC/2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --u3/rZRmxL6MmkK24--
