>Description:
The official ports/security/srm source has not been touched in over two years.  Since 10.4, Apple has been including srm in OS X, and several new features are available in the Darwin version of srm at http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/10.4.5.ppc/ (http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/tarballs/other/srm-3.tar.gz).  It would be nice if the FreeBSD port could be updated to use these features (DoD 7-pass mode and > 2GB file support in particular), since the original author seems uninterested in updating the sourceforge project...

Unfortunately, the Darwin version needs Makefile.am to be patched to remove an apple-only gcc flag so it is not a drop-in replacement.
