Hi Tom, |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
You are correct, the hardened/linux/${arch} profiles were born by releng. |
| 24 |
Hardened project took them over some time ago however and have been |
| 25 |
maintaining both profile sets in parallel. The time has come to pair that |
| 26 |
down to a single set of profiles again; thus the older hardened/${arch} |
| 27 |
profiles have been deprecated. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
The hardened/linux/${arch}/10.0 profiles are tested/approved by the hardened |
| 30 |
team. Please file a bug if you run into problems. |
