uuid-ossp patch has been outdated with irrelevant changes (for us),
so massage back in.
In head of postgresql, this is handled properly, so eventually the ossp patches
can go.

NEW XORG ON FREEBSD 9-STABLE AND 10-STABLE
This update switches over to use the new xorg stack by default on FreeBSD 9
and 10 stable, on osversions where vt(9) is available.
It is still possible to use the old stack by specifying WITHOUT_NEW_XORG in
/etc/make.conf .
FreeBSD 8-STABLE and released versions of FreeBSD still use
the old version.
A package repository with binary packages for new xorg will
be available soon.
This patch also contains updates of libxcb and related ports, pixman, as well
as some drivers and utilities.
Bump portrevisions for xf86-* ports, as well as virtualbox-ose-additions due
to xserver version change.
Apart from these updates, the way shared libraries are handled has been
changed for all xorg ports, as well as libxml2 and freetype, which means
ltverhack is gone and as a consequence shared libraries have been bumped.
The plan is that this change will make library bumps less likely in the
future.
All affected ports have had their portrevisions bumped as a consequence of
this.
Fix some issues where WITH_NEW_XORG weren't detected properly on CURRENT.
Update instructions, hardware support, and more notes can be found on

version of the database system, including versions 9.3.4, 9.2.8, 9.1.13,
9.0.17, and 8.4.21. This minor release fixes a data corruption issue with
replication and crash recovery in version 9.3, as well as several other minor
issues in all versions. All users of version 9.3 are urged to update their
installations at the next possible downtime. Users of older versions should
update at their convenience.
The data corruption issue in PostgreSQL 9.3 affects binary replication
standbys, servers being recovered from point-in-time-recovery backup, and
standalone servers which recover from a system crash. The bug causes
unrecoverable index corruption during recovery due to incorrect replay of row
locking operations. This can then cause query results to be inconsistent
depending on whether or not an index is used, and eventually lead to primary
key violations and similar issues. For this reason, users are encouraged to
replace each of their standby databases with a new base backup after applying
the update.

A change specific to the FreeBSD port:
Modify the contrib/uuid-ossp to actually work (not crashing the backend) by
using the libc implementation of uuid instead of the ossp port. Schemas and
queries will just work. Based on the work of Andrew Gierth. 9.1+ EXTENSION
support added by girgen@.

update to all supported versions of the PostgreSQL database system,
which includes minor versions 9.3.3, 9.2.7, 9.1.12, 9.0.16, and
8.4.20. This update contains fixes for multiple security issues, as
well as several fixes for replication and data integrity issues. All
users are urged to update their installations at the earliest
opportunity, especially those using binary replication or running a
high-security application.
This update fixes CVE-2014-0060, in which PostgreSQL did not properly
enforce the WITH ADMIN OPTION permission for ROLE management. Before
this fix, any member of a ROLE was able to grant others access to the
same ROLE regardless if the member was given the WITH ADMIN OPTION
permission. It also fixes multiple privilege escalation issues,
including: CVE-2014-0061, CVE-2014-0062, CVE-2014-0063, CVE-2014-0064,
CVE-2014-0065, and CVE-2014-0066. More information on these issues can
be found on our security page and the security issue detail wiki page.

database maintenance. All users are urged to update their
installations at the earliest opportunity.
