In the last few months, several linux-f10 application ports have been marked forbidden due to security issues, for example, textproc/linux-f10-expat. This blocks builds of, among other things, www/opera-linuxplugins. I appreciate the vigilance and attentiveness to security, but I'm not sure where that leaves us users of the emulated linux environment (maybe I missed an announcement - searches via the big G didn't turn up anything). Is anyone working on updating the recently-forbidden linux-f10-* applications so they can be used again? Is there some alternate method we should use instead of the linux-f10-* ports? thanks, ~!paul -- G. Paul Ziemba FreeBSD unix: 9:41AM up 4 days, 1:21, 10 users, load averages: 1.32, 1.29, 1.30
