Many of these ports are unmaintained in our repo and in most cases also upstream. They eat quite a bit of time for ports committers trying to keeping these at least buildable, most aren't relevant today and/or have maintained counterparts.

security/bruteforceblocker - Doesn't seem to build/package, please consider using security/sshguard

I tried build with poudriere and 13.0-RELEASE amd64 jail and it succeeded without any error.

Thanks but something seems to be up with packaging looking at freshports but I couldn't find anything obvious looking at portsfallout.

Package build cluster doesn't build package of this port because LICENSE is set to NONE in security/bruteforceblocker/Makefile.
NONE is one of pre-defined licenses and it is defined in Mk/bsd.licence.db.mk as following.

_LICENSE_NAME_NONE=     No license specified
_LICENSE_GROUPS_NONE=   # empty
_LICENSE_PERMS_NONE=    none

As you can see, _LICENSE_PERMS_NONE doesn't include auto-accept.
So you need to explicitly accept the license when building the port.
If you build it interactively , dialog is displayed to ask if you accept the license.
If you build it with batch mode, you need to add LICENSES_ACCEPTED=NONE to make.conf.

@yasu
Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks for clearing it up! :-)
Unless you want to take up maintainership or danger replies I still think we should deprecate it given the multiple maintainer timeouts dating back to 2017. I'll of course update the patch accordingly

Proposed change, remove security/beecrypt from the list for now (requested by maintainer)

se added inline comments.
security/flawfinder/Makefile
16

I have created a patch that brings this port to the latest version (2.0.19) and have sent it to the maintainer (lx@) for approval.
