FreeBSD Port: libcanberra-0.10_5
The current libcanberra - "libcanberra-0.10.tar.gz" - doesn't handle multithreaded gtk applications well (doesn't take the gdk lock when playing sounds), which is supposedly fixed in the latest release. Are there any plans of doing updates in the near future? br - Nikolaj Thygesen ______________________... 25 Nov 2009 21:43

libutf-8 compilation error
I am encountering the following error while trying to compile converters/libutf-8 inside of a jail.

I do not therefore believe any restrictionfor ventrilo-server could be sustained on ... 24 Nov 2009 05:35

Man's gravest threat is RACISM
Racial discrimination is the cause of so much injustice and suffering right through the years, "We hate racial discrimination most intensely and all its manifestations. We have fought all our life; we fight now, and will do so until the end of our days. Racism against African-Americans is still prevalent in the Uni... 22 Nov 2009 10:30

Help to SAVE one STARVING BABY
Millions of people, many of them children, go days, even weeks, without a decent meal. Hunger is common; a full belly is rare. While you're throwing away the left overs, spare a few thoughts and a few cans of food, to help feed the hungry in Africa. You may not think you have the ability to make a difference, but y... 22 Nov 2009 10:30

FreeBSD unmaintained ports which are currently marked forbidden
As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the number of problems in the FreeBSD ports system, we periodically notify users about ports that are marked as "forbidden" in their Makefiles. Often, these ports are so marked due to security concerns, such as known exploits. An overview of each port, including errors see... 21 Nov 2009 02:43
