pkgsrc change:

Changes:
o 2004-06-07 21:25 (Cosmetic) Negative size in access.log on long
running CONNECT requests
o 2004-06-08 11:01 (Major) Segmentation fault after
"Likely proxy abuse detected"
o 2004-06-18 17:39 (Security issue) Overflow bug in Squid's ntlm_auth helper.
Note: currently below patch isn't applied since it is broken and I'm
not sure how it shold be corrected. I wish it would fixed
before tagging pkgsrc-2004Q2.
o 2004-06-08 11:42 (Minor) sasl_auth doesn't compile with SALS2
NetBSD's bin/pax has several fixes: ticket #1021, PR#24481, PR/25934,
PR/25299, PR/25310, PR#25200, PR#25207, PR#25131, ticket #155
Maybe this should be done during the freeze.
Also, the current version is pax-20031220, but it contains
code newer than that date:
$NetBSD: ar_io.c,v 1.6 2004/03/11 20:10:29 tv Exp $
$NetBSD: pax.h,v 1.6 2004/04/12 12:34:16 heinz Exp $
Note that the cache version change may lose message flags.
However the issue fixed probably does effect NetBSD, as well as FreeBSD.
Main changes are:
* A session timeout for POP3/SMTP has been implemented.
* The 'Print' menu on the context menu has been restored.
* The value of CACHE_VERSION has been increased to prevent a cache
incompatibility problem on some platforms such as FreeBSD.
broken and doesn't build:
checking whether to enable ipv6... yes
checking ipv6 stack type... unknown
checking getaddrinfo bug... buggy
Fatal: You must get working getaddrinfo() function.
