I don't think the s:sup:csup: is ok. I think it is supposed to be compatible with cvsup. For the /var/db part it might be ok. > I'm sorry, I shall not send any PR to the Gnats/FreeBSD PR system, > because it is insecure and, or does not obfuscates mail addresses of > the users and hence encourages spammers. How is the "not obfuscates mail addresses" different from a mail to this list? Replacing <empty>at<empty> (in our archives) with an at symbol is not rocket science and any mail address harvester which does not do this is not worth the use (let alone other mailinglist archives which don't obfuscate the addresses but archive our public lists). Additionally a spammer just needs to subscribe to this ML and he gets a lot of addresses which work without much effort, so the common knowledge is, that it is not worth to obfuscate the mail address in GNATS (the PR is also send to a mailinglist, so it is available in multiple ways you don't have control of). What do you mean by insecure?
