>Description:
Building any port on a system that does not have portaudit installed
causes a flurry of messages like this:
===> Vulnerability check disabled
The net result is to cause users much anxiety and make them feel compelled
to install portaudit, which is still an experimental feature.
It is my opinion that this warning should not appear at all until
portaudit reaches production quality (and hopefully enters the base
system), and even then it should be displayed only once for each port.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build any port.
>Fix:
See attached patch.
