--- Comment #15 from Joe Barbish <qjail1 at a1poweruser.com> ---
Ignore that portlint warning about size of pkg-descr file just like it has been
ignored for the last 16 years.

About the first line of pkg-descr, warning against use on systems < 10.0. 

There is a qjail2 port just for 9.3 and older systems. 9.3 goes EOL in December
this year, at which time I will have qjail2 removed. Besides that version is
frozen in time having none of the updates added to the qjail port.

I believe that 10.0 & 10.1 have already reached EOL but since there are many
users out there still on these versions I plan to leave the internal script
checks for only 10.x and newer.

When it comes to the first line of the pkg-descr where it says this version
supports 10.x and newer, it will stay in the pkg-descr file. People who look
online at the ports system read the long description and read that first line.
Not likely to drill down to the port makefile to see the OSVERSION knob.

I have no problem with you putting the OSVERSION knob in the 4.9 makefile as
long as you also make the same change to the 5.0 port's makefile.
