I should clarify. portupgrade -f will attempt to reinstall any port or package that is installed on the system. This certainly includes gnomemeeting, openh323, and pwlib. But this should not be a problem any longer as no other port is dependent on gnomemeeting. The result should be a clean upgrade of all functional packages and an error about gm and warnings on any forbidden packages (like openh323). It should work fine except for the annoying messages and the fact that GnomeMeeting won't work. Previously GM was a part of gnome, and an installation of Gnome2 would install it. I suspect that it still does on Linux. I really hope to get it working again on FreeBSD. Craig Southern fixed the security problem that got it tagged as "forbidden" long ago, but the fixed version has never been ported. -- R.
