Thank you for sending the headsup to the FreeBSD users.
I have CC?ed ports-secteam, they will handle with due care when more information
is available and they can act upon something.
I have BCC?ed the maintainer for the PHP port(s), but I am not entirely sure
whether he maintains all the pear ports as well.

Again, thank you.

Hi all,

I just took net/pear-Net_SMTP as an example and compared it with "make 
makesum" SHA256 and SIZE.
The values are the same. So the packages are not compromised.
But today I will start testing all PEAR ports for different values. This 
can unfortunately take time.
If a port has different values, it would be good to mark it as BROKEN 
and if the project is on GitHub, to switch.


Greetings

Jochen
