Latest databases/gnats Makefile had this for a while before removal of the port: FORBIDDEN= Security issues DEPRECATED= ${FORBIDDEN} EXPIRATION_DATE= 2011-09-30 So it's clearly not a mistake, but a portsmgr decision. Also everything else has to be decided by portsmgr but a port with unfixed security issues over a long period of time seems a good candidate to be removed. Interestingly on freefall `pkg_info -o '*gnats*'` gives: Origin: databases/gnats I'm glad I'm not part of clusteradm ;) as this might break some day into pieces and needs attention. Regards, Volker
