Since nobody (AFAIK) is building binary updates for use with FreeBSD Update on non-i386 platforms, this shouldn't inconvenience anyone. Also, add a note reminding people not to touch this port. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: --- freebsd-update.diff.5 begins here --- diff -ruN security/freebsd-update.orig/Makefile security/freebsd-update/Makefile --- security/freebsd-update.orig/Makefile Wed Oct 15 08:20:24 2003 +++ security/freebsd-update/Makefile Sun Nov 9 15:34:32 2003 @@ -10,8 +10,17 @@ CATEGORIES= security MASTER_SITES= http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update/ +# This is a critical security port.
