List the vulnerabilities for this port

Saturday, October 20th, 2007

The previous post was based on a question from Martin Wilke, who was looking for a vuxml entry against phpMyAdmin. We eventually found it. It had the wrong dates but it was found. Martin corrected the problem with a followup commit.

Removing an icon from FreshPorts

Monday, December 11th, 2006

Things change. They evolve. In previous versions of FreshPorts, to see the files for a particular commit, you went to /category/ports/files.php?message_id=Some.Message.ID. But no longer. Now you can see all the details at /commit.php?message_id=Some.Message.ID. That’s a shorter URL and eliminates some ugly URL parsing.
