USE_GCC2 or USE_GCC3 where appropriate.
the functionality of the old gcc.buildlink2.mk has been rolled into
compiler.mk now, which is automatically used.
more changes to come later...
now and not NetBSD-*-arm32. Changes include one or more of:
- Change MACHINE_ARCH == arm32 to also match arm
- Where ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM includes NetBSD-*-arm32, add NetBSD-*-arm
- Where BROKEN or worked around for arm gcc bugs, set USE_GCC3
The last may shake out a few more broken packages the next bulk build.
- Clients using POST are no longer permitted to provide an Injector-Info
header.
- Fixed a bug causing posts with Followup-To set to a moderated group to
be rejected if the posting user didn't have permission to approve
postings.
- Fixed bugs in inncheck with setuid rnews or setgid inews, in
innconfval with inn.conf parameters containing shell metacharacters
but no spaces, and in parsedate.y with some versions of yacc. Fixed a
variety of size-related printf format warnings (e.g., %d vs. %ld)
thanks to the work of Winfried Szukalski.
While INN 2.3.5 is not the latest officially released version it is the
latest one for which an IPv6 patch is available.
- LIST ACTIVE no longer returns data when given a single group argument
if the client is not authorized to read that group.
- XHDR and XPAT weren't correctly parsing article headers, resulting in
searches for the header "newsgroup" matching the header "newsgroups".
- Made CNFS more robust against crashes by actually syncing the cycbuff
headers to disk as was originally intended. Fixed a memory leak in
the tradspool code.
- Two bugs in pgpverify when using GnuPG were fixed: it now correctly
checks for gpgv (rather than pgp) when told to use GnuPG and expects
the keyring to be pubring.gpg (not pubring.pgp).
- Substantial updates to the sample provided control.ctl file.
- Compilation fixes with Perl 5.8.0, BerkeleyDB 4.x, current versions of
Linux (including with large file support), and Tru64. inndf fixes for
ReiserFS.
- Various bugs in the header handling in nnrpd have been fixed,
including hangs when using virtual domains and improper processing of
folded headers under certain circumstances.
- Other minor bug fixes and documentation improvements.
While INN 2.3.4 is not the latest officially released version it is the
latest one for which an IPv6 patch is available.
have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.
* Use gcc/buildlink2.mk instead of Makefile.gcc.
* Use the functionality on bsd.pkg.install.mk to generate INSTALL/DEINSTALL
scripts that match the functionality of the custom ones we're removing,
and handle the rc.d script automatically.
* Name the full paths of the binaries that are installed setuid.
- pgpverify now supports using GnuPG to check signatures (rather than
PGP) without the pgpgpg wrapper. GnuPG can check both old-style RSA
signatures and new OpenPGP signatures and is recommended over PGP 2.6.
If you have GnuPG installed, pgpverify will use it rather than PGP,
which means that you may have to create a new key ring for GnuPG to
use to verify signatures if you were previously using PGP.
- An item that was noted in NEWS below but was inadvertently left out of
nnrpd has actually been added this time: users can no longer post
articles containing Approved: headers to moderated groups by default;
they must be specifically given that permission with the access:
parameter in readers.conf. See the man page for more details.
- Two bugs in repacking overview index files and a reliability bug with
writing overview data were all fixed in the tradindexed overview
method, hopefully making it somewhat more reliable, particularly for
makehistory.
- If rc.news.local exists in the INN binary directory, it will be run
with the start or stop argument whenever rc.news is run. This is
available as a hook for local startup and shutdown code.
- The default history table hash sizes were increased because a
too-small value can cause serious performance problems (whereas a
too-large hash just wastes a bit of disk space).
- The sample control.ctl file has been extensively updated.
- Wildmat exclusions (@ and !) should now work properly in storage.conf
newsgroup patterns.
- The implementation of the -w flag for expireover was fixed;
previously, the value given to -w to change expireover's notion of the
current time was scaled by too much.
- Various other more minor bug fixes, standards compliance fixes, and
documentation improvements.
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
- innxmit can again handle regular filenames as input as well as storage
API tokens (allowing it to be used to import an old traditional
spool).
- Several problems with tagged-hash history files have been fixed thanks
to the debugging efforts of Andrew Gierth and Sang-yong Suh.
- A very long-standing (since INN 1.0!) NNTP protocol bug in nnrpd was
fixed. The response to an ARTICLE command retrieving a message by
message ID should have the message ID as the third word of the
response, not the fourth. Fixing this is reported to *possibly* cause
problems with some Netscape browsers, but other news servers correctly
follow the protocol.
- Some serious performance problems with expiration of tradspool should
now be at least somewhat alleviated. tradspool and timehash now know
how to output file names for removal rather than tokens, and fastrm's
ability to remove regular files has been restored. This should bring
expiration times for tradspool back to within a factor of two of
pre-storage-API expiration times.
- An item that was actually changed in 2.3.0 but wasn't noted in NEWS
when it should have been: Users can no longer post articles
containing Approved: headers to moderated groups by default; they must
be specifically given that permission with the access: parameter in
readers.conf. See the man page for more details.
- Added a sample subscriptions file and documentation for it and
innmail.
The changes required for this update were contributed by Bernd Ernesti
in PR pkg/13299.
INN 2.3.0 represents a significant architectural change to INN, with a
completely new internal overview interface, three new overview mechanisms,
two new article storage mechanisms, and the elimination of quite a few old
interfaces and old code.
The NetBSD package furthermore includes IPv6 support and a new style
startup script with backwards compatibility.
Changes:
- INN no longer installs inews setgid news or rnews setuid root by
default. If you need the old behavior, --enable-uucp-rnews or
--enable-setgid-inews must be given to configure. See INSTALL
for more information.
- A security hole when verifycancels is turned on in inn.conf (not
the default) was fixed.
- Message IDs are now limited to 250 octets to prevent
interoperability problems with other servers.
- Various other security paranoia fixes have been made.
- Embedded Perl filters fixed to work with Perl 5.6.0.
- Lots of bug fixes.
Add a new USE_LIBTOOL definition that uses the libtool package instead of
pkglibtool which is now considered outdated.
USE_PKGLIBTOOL is available for backwards compatibility with old packages
but is deprecated for new packages.
- Various minor bug fixes and a y2k bug fix. The y2k bug is in version
version 2.2.1 only and will show up after Jan 1st when a news reader
issues a NEWNEWS command for a date prior to the year 2000.
- Various bug fixes. Most importantly, bug fixes to potential
security holes (buffer overflow type).
