FreeBSD core2duo.tandem.local 7.0-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p2 #1: Mon Jun 23 12:05:49 EEST 2008     arcade at core2duo.tandem.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CORE2DUO  i386
>Description:
Current version of mentioned port has long-time problems and current developer is unresponsive. For example flow-export currently fails to import data correctly into PostgreSQL database unless explicitly patched.
>How-To-Repeat:
Trying export any data to PostgreSQL database. Text fields would be quoted using '"' instead of '\'' as needed by PostgreSQL.
>Fix:
Project was forked long ago and exists now at http://code.google.com/p/flow-tools/. Proper decision would be to update current package or create another one (named like gflow-tools for example).
