Description Mark Felder freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-08-18 21:42:12 UTC
I am starting an initiative to add deleted/expired/End of Life ports to vuxml. This is to cover a gap we have with vuxml and pkg audit where users can be running EoL software for many years and potentially have clean pkg audit reports. It is not going to be feasible to add every deleted / expired port to vuxml, but we should be able to cover popular software (languages, libraries, databases, webservers) and start adding entries going forward.

This does not cover a disregard for updating the FreeBSD base system. It has been hard to monitor for that in the past and it's possible only application-level vulnerabilities are part of their threat model.

We should not recycle the exact same vuxml entry forever. This is primarily because it creates noise for users of the Freshports website every time you update the vuxml entry with a <modified> date, but also because we should consider entering more detail in the description of the vuxml entry where possible.

Please join me in this effort. If you are aware of a popular bit of software that deserves an entry and you can correctly identify what its PKGNAME was I would appreciate it if you could let me know or add it to the current "End of Life Ports" vuxml entry.


Thanks!

Hi Mark,

I guess we can close this PR as it seems to be abandoned?

Best regards,
Daniel

Closing this due to submitter timeout and effort seems to be abandoned.
