There are many security | holes in pine3. ---end quoted text--- The maintainer has been very busy. I was given to understand that he has a situation preventing him from contributing. ( finger woju@freebsd.sinica.edu.tw :) ) Because some of the ports/chinese user base may be still using pine3, Can we mark it BROKEN temporarily, change the MAINTAINER to me? Would anyone object to that? I will send a PR to remove the chinese/pine3 after two months. (see attached patch) ports/chinese has been suffering from low maintenance due to most of the maintainers not active anymore. Many of them are in active compulsory military service. Would it be good if we changed some of maintainerships to freebsd-taiwan-chinese@freebsd.sinica.edu.tw ? -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | keichii@peorth.iteration.net | keichii@bsdconspiracy.net | | http://peorth.iteration.net/~keichii | Yes, BSD is a conspiracy. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ --OXfL5xGRrasGEqWY Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="pine3.makefile.patch" --- /usr/ports/chinese/pine3/Makefile Fri Sep 1 00:28:21 2000 +++ Makefile Thu Sep 28 16:34:33 2000 @@ -12,7 +12,9 @@ DISTNAME= pine${PORTVERSION} EXTRACT_SUFX= .tar.Z -MAINTAINER= woju@FreeBSD.ee.Ntu.edu.TW +MAINTAINER= keichii@iteration.net + +BROKEN= PINE3 has a buffer overflow security problem.
