+ <description>
+ <p>It was discovered that Gentoo’s BURP ebuild does not properly set
+ permissions or place the pid file in a safe directory. Additionally, the
+ first set of patches did not completely address this. As such, a
+ revision has been made available that addresses all concerns of the
+ initial report.
