to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.8.8 -> 5.10.0.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=...").
2007-02-03 Hans de Graaff
* Checkbot 1.79 is released
* RELEASE-PROCESS: Add the release process documentation.
2007-01-27 Gerald Pfeifer
* checkbot (init_suppression): Check and provide error if
suppression file is in fact a directory.
2006-12-28 Hans de Graaff
* checkbot: Add summary to tables to make files XHTML 1.1 compliant.
2006-11-16 Hans de Graaff
* checkbot (handle_doc): Parse the decoded content so that all
character set issues are dealt with before parsing. This solves
bug 1264729.
2006-11-14 Hans de Graaff
* checkbot (performRequest): Simplify the code dealing with
problems of HEAD requests by retrying all 500 reponses instead of
special-cases particular failures that we happen to know
about. This type of problem is all to common, and if there really
is a problem GET will find it anyway.
(add_error): Allow regular expressions in the suppression
file. Based on patch from Eric Noack
2006-11-14 Eric Noack
* checkbot (send_mail): Indicate how many errors are detected in
the notification email's subject.
(handle_doc): Use the URL with which the document was received for
the problem reports and internal accounting, but keep on using the
proper base URL as defined by the reponse object when retrieving
links from the document. This fixes the case where a weird BASE
URL in a document could make it unclear where the actual problem
was.
2006-10-28 Hans de Graaff
* checkbot (performRequest): Handle case where an FTP server may
not be able to handle a HEAD request. This may cause a lot of data
to be transferred in those cases.
2006-05-03 Hans de Graaff
* Checkbot 1.78 is released
2005-12-18 Hans de Graaff
* checkbot (printServerProblems): Make pages XHTML compliant again.
2005-12-18 Jens Schweikhardt
* checkbot: Add classes and ids so that more styling options for
CSS are available.
* checkbot2.css: Example CSS file using the new classes and ids.
2005-11-11 Hans de Graaff
* checkbot: React in a more subtle way if the Time::Duration
module is not found.
2005-09-22 Hans de Graaff
* Makefile.PL: Check for presence of Net::SSL and explain the
effects if this it not present.
2005-08-20 Hans de Graaff
* checkbot (handle_doc): Ignore some 'links' found by LinkExtor
which do not need to link to live links. Fixed bugs #1264447 and
#1107832.
* test.html: Add test cases for it.
2005-08-06 Hans de Graaff
* checkbot (performRequest): Switch from HEAD to GET on a 400
error, as the most likely cause is that the server has trouble
with HEAD requests.
2005-08-05 Hans de Graaff
* checkbot (handle_doc): Also show how many new links are found on
a page, not just the total number of links.
(performRequest): Don't retry GET method on a 403 error.
(handle_doc): Properly handle newlines in the matches for title
and robots meta tag.
2005-07-28 Hans de Graaff
* Checkbot 1.77 is released.
* checkbot: Fix use of $VERSION so that it compiles and can be
used by MakeMaker at the same time.
(handle_doc): Check for presence of robots meta tag and act on it.
Based on a patch by Donald Willingham.
2005-07-25 Hans de Graaff
* Checkbot 1.76 is released.
2005-06-07 Hans de Graaff
* checkbot (printServerProblems): Include title of page.
(handle_doc): Extract title for later printing.
Add new hash url_title to store page titles.
Based on a patch from John Bintz.
2005-04-23 Hans de Graaff
* checkbot: Add documentation on use of file:/// URLs.
2005-01-23 Hans de Graaff
* checkbot: Only send mail when Checkbot has detected any
problems, based on suggestion from Thomas Kuerten.
Print duration of run on final report, and refactor use of start
time variable to facilitate this. Feature depends on availability
of Time::Duration, but checkbot will work without it. Based on
patch from Adam Griff.
2005-01-23 Adam Griff
* checkbot (create_page): Print out more options on results page.
2005-01-21 Hans de Graaff
* checkbot: Remove automatic version number based on CVS version
now that commits will be more frequent than releases.
2004-11-12 Hans de Graaff
* checkbot (handle_url): Ignore javascript: URLs instead of
generating a 904 error. It would be nice to handle these as well.
2004-05-26 Hans de Graaff
* Makefile.PL: Sync HTML::Parser requirement with required
versions of libwww-perl.
2004-05-03 Hans de Graaff
* checkbot: Write better documentation for --file option.
2004-04-26 Hans de Graaff
* checkbot: Minor documentation changes thank to Jens
Schweikhardt.
* A --language option to ask the server for pages in other languages
* Bug fixes related to URI package and non-standard server names
* Some other minor bugfixes detailed in the ChangeLog
* Added example for use of the --match argument
* checkbot.pl (get_headers): URI doesn't know about netloc, but it
does know about authority.
(get_headers): $url is already absolute, no need for ->abs
* checkbot.pl (handle_doc): Print a notice when external non
HTTP/FTP URLs are dropped.
* checkbot.pl (init_modules and other places): Remove
URI::URL::strict call and use of new URI::URL because it is
obsolete, we should use the URI classes now.
* checkbot.pl (init_globals): Initialize last checkpoint time with
0 instead of current time, so that we write out a set of pages
right at the start. This will catch problems with permissions for
these pages as early as possible.
* checkbot.pl (get_server_type): Take into account that we might
not learn anything about the server
* checkbot.pl (get_headers): Factored out of check_external so
that moving to using GET requests only will be easier later.
* checkbot.pl (send_mail): Really fix printing of starting URLs in
email. All URLs are now printed in the subject and body of the
message.
pkgsrc. Instead, a new variable PKGREVISION is invented that can get
bumped independent of DISTNAME and PKGNAME.
Example #1:
DISTNAME= foo-X.Y
PKGREVISION= Z
=> PKGNAME= foo-X.YnbZ
Example #2:
DISTNAME= barthing-X.Y
PKGNAME= bar-X.Y
PKGREVISION= Z
=> PKGNAME= bar=X.YnbZ (!)
On subsequent changes, only PKGREVISION needs to be bumped, no more risk
of getting DISTNAME changed accidentally.
Changes in this version include:
- Fix printing of starting URLs in email
- Removed duplicate header in report
- Try more environment variables to set temporary directory
- Avoid using printf on pipes, and fix silly typo.
Also add --match-url-base
Changes since 1.62:
- Require LWP 5.50. A bug fix was introduced in LWP 5.49 which
solves problems with relative Location: headers for Checkbot.
- Create a defaults --match argument based on all the start URLs,
not just the first one.
- Remove .bak files when the new files are written correctly.
- Create correct URLs when --file argument also contains directories.
- Deal with redirects without a Location: header.
- Don't exclude checkbot's own pages automagically.
- Always ask server about file type for HTTP requests when uncertain.
- Make output well-formed HTML.
- Several typo's and other output fixes.

2000-09-16 Hans de Graaff <hans@degraaff.org>
* checkbot.pl (send_mail): Only mention URL in the subject of the
mail if one is given through the --url option.
(check_external): The ALEPH web server is also broken with respect
to HEAD requests.
2000-09-04 Hans de Graaff <hans@degraaff.org>

header. Check to see if the server field is set in a response to
avoid warnings.

hostname instead of IP address to distinguish servers. This allows
checking of multiple virtual servers.

ones to do, and each compiled and installed/de-installed apparently
correctly.
As a side effect of the dynamic PLIST, we no longer need to have separate
-static and -shared PLISTs. It's now easier than ever to make a perl5
package for NetBSD :)
can check a single document, or a set of documents on one or more
servers. Checkbot creates a report which summarizes all links which
caused some kind of warning or error.
