Hi. I've a little question about ethereal. Now that the have released ethereal-0.10.5 which is a security fix. They previus release 0.10.4 was a security fix too. If you check http://portsmon.firepipe.net/portoverview.py?category=&portname=ethereal you can see that there are two PRs about it. #66766 Mon May 17 10:40:00 PDT 2004 #68819 Thu Jul 08 14:20:24 GMT 2004 The second is only two days old, but the first one was submitted in May! It was assigned to the maintainer (billf@freebsd.org). But the port is till at version 0.10.3. I wonder why the others don't care of this. I don't know how many other port suffer from this, but this is not a good state. If the maintiner is a slacker, please go and commit it with a "maintiner timeout" note. Come on! Security fixes are important. Thanks. __ Robert Nagy
