How are we supposed to know how people are using the ports? It is impossibl= e to know how much the CVE will impact our users, keeping ports with known unfix= ed CVE is proposing potentially risky software to our users, which is not acceptab= le. If upstream has dropped their support for a given version, a maintainer has= two choices: do himself the active support instead of upstream, or follow upstr= eam policy and drop the port. regards, Bapt --xXmbgvnjoT4axfJE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk9wDQAACgkQ8kTtMUmk6ExUFACgnxWGEXSgAf+LB9LVn5avnrob azAAoKLQgnLjDO48IHsh1Rr59V/2VFl/ =8x8b -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --xXmbgvnjoT4axfJE--
