Changes listed within the NEWS file since 6.2.5:
fetchmail-6.2.5.2 (Fri Jul 22 01:52 GMT 2005):
* NOTE: Due to a Makefile.in bug, you may need to use GNU make.
* SECURITY FIX: truncate UIDL replies, lest malicious or compromised
POP3 servers overflow fetchmail's stack. Debian bug #212762.
This is a remote root exploit. CVE Name: CAN-2005-2335.
Thanks: Miloslav Trmac for pointing out the fix in 6.2.5.1 was buggy.
Thanks: Ludwig Nussel for a much simpler fix.
* Critical fix: omit blank between MAIL FROM: and <user@example.org>,
as this causes mail loss with some listeners.
* Fix: POP2 driver wouldn't properly check authentication failure.
* Sunil Shetye's fix to force fetchsizelimit to 1 for APOP and RPOP.
And always is defined as share/examples/rc.d
which was the default before.
This rc.d scripts are not automatically added to PLISTs now also.
So add to each corresponding PLIST as required.
This was discussed on tech-pkg in late January and late April.
Todo: remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR uses in MESSAGES and elsewhere
and remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR itself.
- use kerberos instead of kerberos5 as PKG_SUPPORTED_OPTIONS
to keep compliance with other kerberos aware packages in pkgsrc
- use the krb5 buildlink environment
Introduce support for gssapi which was also requested in pr pkg/26170 with
the according PKG_SUPPORTED_OPTIONS. gssapi will imply kerberos5.
under share/examples/rc.d. The variable name already was named
RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR.
This is from ideas from Greg Woods and others.
Also bumped PKGREVISION for all packages using RCD_SCRIPTS mechanism
(as requested by wiz).
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.
into the bsd.options.mk framework. Instead of appending to
${PKG_OPTIONS_VAR}, it appends to PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS. This causes
the default options to be the union of PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS and any
old USE_* and FOO_USE_* settings.
This fixes PR pkg/26590.
for each package can be determined by invoking:
make show-var VARNAME=PKG_OPTIONS_VAR
The old options are still supported unless the variable named in
PKG_OPTIONS_VAR is set within make(1) (usually via /etc/mk.conf).
the RCD_SCRIPTS rc.d script(s) to the PLIST.
This GENERATE_PLIST idea is part of Greg A. Woods'
PR #22954.
This helps when the RC_SCRIPTS are installed to
a different ${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}. (Later,
the default RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR will be changed
to be more clear that they are the examples.)
These patches also remove the etc/rc.d/ scripts from PLISTs
(of packages that use RCD_SCRIPTS). (This also removes
now unused references from openssh* makefiles. Note that
qmail package has not been changed yet.)
I have been doing automatic PLIST registration for RC_SCRIPTS
for over a year. Not all of these packages have been tested,
but many have been tested and used.
Somethings maybe to do:
- a few packages still manually install the rc.d scripts to
hard-coded etc/rc.d. These need to be fixed.
- maybe remove from mk/${OPSYS}.pkg.dist mtree specifications too.
Based on pr pkg/22650 by Adrian Portelli.

This is needed so fetchmail properly detects shark and cats as arm boxen.
Note it does mean that we now give warnings about missing, but there's no
glue in mk/bsd.pkg.mk to link the gnu-config/missing into a package.
Maybe there should be.
Tested on shark, cats and i386.
