* Partially rewritten ntop processing engine to address reliability and
performance
* Several bugs and stability issues fixed
* Added better support for IPFIX and NetFlow v9, as well as ntop PEN
(Private Enterprise Number)
* Added support for Cisco ASA firewalls
* Added ntop engine scriptability via the python programming language
* Added RRDalarm plugin for generating alerts based on thresholds

* Enhanced sFlow support
This release adds MPLS support, a per-interface BPF filter, the ability to
export the HTTP GET parameters in QUERY_STRING_UNESCAPED in the Perl plugin,
support for extended sFlow samples, a fix for a visualization issue when using
VLANs, and an improved Perl plugin.
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
Solaris. Enhanced patch-aa with a work-around. Fixes PR 32089.
- Fixed invalid variable names (having dashes instead of underscores).
- Added patch-ab, which is the same as patch-aa, except it is intended to
be reported upstream.
Bump PKGREVISION as the share library versioning changes.
Bump BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.gdome2 required.
And bump PKGREVISION for its only dependency: ntop.
This fixes build issue for ntop. (Before this fix,
gdome2's libgdome.la file listed .la files for libiconv
and libz, but on some systems using native versions they
didn't exist.)
This will close PR #29525.
the popular top Unix command does. ntop is based on libpcap and it has been
written in a portable way in order to virtually run on every Unix platform and
on Win32 as well.
ntop users can use a web browser (e.g. netscape) to navigate through ntop (that
acts as a web server) traffic information and get a dump of the network status.
In the latter case, ntop can be seen as a simple RMON-like agent with an
embedded web interface.
The use of:
- a web interface
- limited configuration and administration via the web interface
- reduced CPU and memory usage (they vary according to network size and traffic)
make ntop easy to use and suitable for monitoring various kind of networks.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
