Thinking that I might wish to upgrade my 9.2-STABLE system (to 9.3-STABLE),
I decided to run "# /usr/local/sbin/portaudit -Fda" only to find that
someone
at FreeBSD.org has borked the system:
unix# /usr/local/sbin/portaudit -Fda
fetch: portaudit.FreeBSD.org/auditfile.tbz: Not Found
Couldn't fetch database.
Old database restored.
portaudit: Download failed.
I think some folks have moved on (to the new system) without having given any
thought to those folks (like me!) who are just a tad bit behind the herd... :-(

I also note that not only is the database MIA, but there is at least
one bad link at the bottom of:
vuxml.freebsd.org
and that (borked) link would be:
svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/ports-mgmt/portaudit :-(

web...
