Hello folks, Current, the linux-openmotif has the security issue and has been marked as DEPRECATED, which it will be remove in a month. I can't allow it to be remove because of linux-opera depends on it. I only can found a RPM that has security patch include that is update to 2.2.4 and bumped the shared libraries version. I am luck that linux-opera has support multi-version of linux-openmotif's shared libraries, so I will have no problem with the future update of linux-openmotif. I only found two more ports that depend on linux-openmotif: biology/spdbv (CC'ing to chuynh@biolateral.com.au) math/mupad (CC'ing to maho@FreeBSD.org) I didn't test them with the new linux-openmotif, so I want you guys to test my patch. http://people.freebsd.org/~mezz/diff/linux-openmotif.diff You guys might need to update your port or whatever. If I don't hear from you guys for a week or two, then I shall mark both ports as broke. It won't make any difference, because if I don't update linux-openmotif then it will be remove and those ports will be broke anyway. However, please let me know if you won't have any problem, send me patch(es) to fix your port with new linux-openmotif as I shall commit those at the same time when I update linux-openmotif, feedback and/or whatever. On another note: If one of you find another better RPM (redhat 7) that include security patch fixes without bump the shared libraries version, then let me know and all three ports will be safe without tweak require.
