Replacement functionality if systrace is to be removed.
Hi there, I was speaking to someone at OpenCON about the fundamental systrace flaw regarding processes forking in order to bypass the checks. The general impression I was given was that systrace is to be removed at some point. If this is the case, will there be a similar tool available? I ask because I find USE_SYSTRACE (/etc/mk.conf) essential for the TeXLive port. It writes all over the place during the build.

Well this is the use for USE_SYSTRACE in ports indeed. -- Antoine
