https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=268734 Bug ID: 268734 Summary: mail/balsa Balsa port severely outdated Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: gnome@FreeBSD.org Reporter: thomholwerda@osnews.com Assignee: gnome@FreeBSD.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(gnome@FreeBSD.org) I noticed that the FreeBSD Balsa port is severely outdated - ports has version 2.5.1, which is a few months shy of ten years old. There have been more than 10 new releases since, with the latest being 2.6.4, released on 2022-09-20. It seems rather dangerous to have such an old version still readily available to users as a port/pkg. This applies to all architectures FreeBSD and mail/balsa is available on. This is most likely the entirely wrong place to report this, but I have no idea where else to do so, and it does seem to qualify as a bug insofar running such an old version is inherently dangerous, especially considering countless newer versions are available as part of the GNOME project. Feel free to scold me if this is the wrong place! It's difficult sometimes to find the right avenue of contact. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
