- Mark OVERWRITE_BASE and security/openssh-portable-base as DEPRECATED.

Description

  • Mark OVERWRITE_BASE and security/openssh-portable-base as DEPRECATED. These will be removed on January 1 2015.

    Really ports should not be touching the base system at all.

    This option is a big foot-shoot problem:
    1. Recent versions of FreeBSD such as 9.3, 10.0, 10.1+, now remove all ssh files from /usr if you 'make delete-old' with WITHOUT_SSH. This results in removing the overwrite base files.
    2. Uninstalling the package leaves the system with no ssh.
    3. Running installworld without WITHOUT_SSH results in overwriting the package, or giving false-positive 'pkg check -s' errors.
    4. The port fails to pass QA checks because it removes system files.
