Description Jan Beich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-04-08 13:15:48 UTC
27.* branch is no longer supported upstream and lacks many many security fixes. Can you update the port?

Comment 1 Jan Beich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-04-08 13:21:59 UTC
portmgr, should the port be marked FORBIDDEN until VuXML is populated? Note, it'd prevent build on the package cluster.

Providing vulnerable packages with very large attack surface is irresponsible.
Comment 2 lichray 2019-04-08 16:59:00 UTC
I think I will need 2 weeks to update it.  My current employer causes me to not using FreeBSD at daily basis (in contrast, contributing to another package manager called vcpkg), so I could not priorities things on FreeBSD.

Meanwhile, if someone else would like to upgrade it and/or take the maintainership, you are welcome.

Log:
  www/palemoon: Reset maintainer

  The current maintainer no longer has time to update this port.  An
  update is sorely needed though since it is now almost a year out
  of date.
