Kernel modules allow the system administrator to dynamically add and
remove functionality from a running system. This ability also helps
software developers to develop new parts of the kernel without constantly
rebooting to test their changes.
This package provides the necessary utilities for using kernel modules on
NetBSD 5.x.
The modload utility loads a kernel module specified by the module parameter
into the running system. The modunload utility unloads a loadable kernel
module from a running system. The modstat utility displays the status of
any kernel modules present in the kernel.
Changes since version 1.0.29:
A bug fix in the handling of readdir errors; in earlier versions,
it was theoretically possible for a failing hard drive or other
errors in reading directories to result in files being silently
omitted from an archive.
Several bug fixes relating to the handling of @archive directives
with mtree files.
A bug fix to prevent cache directory corruption resulting in
tarsnap failing if it was interrupted at exactly the right
(wrong) moment in its operation.
A bug fix to correctly handle ~ in tarsnap -s path substitutions.
Many more minor bug fixes.

Upstream changelog:
## 2.8.0 / August 3 2011
A short release, after the last. Announcing Rails 3.1 asset pipeline support.
The asset pipeline support requires an additiona `load` in your `Capfile`.
You can see information pertaining to the pull request, including the inline
comments here: https://github.com/capistrano/capistrano/pull/35
Documentation will be available soon in the wiki.
* Drop-In Rails 3.1 asset pipeline support. (Chris Griego)
## 2.7.0 / August 3 2011
A fairly substantial release. There are fixes so that current_release works
during dry-runs, (although, apparently still not with bundler.)
The test-suite was also modified to work with Ruby 1.9.2, except in one case
where Ruby 1.9.x calls `to_ary` and `to_a` on mocks, which still makes an
error. 1.9.x has always been supported, but due to lack of maintenance on my
part the tests didn't ever pass.
The `start`, `stop` and `restart` tasks have been reduced to mere hooks into
which extensions can define their own functionality.
The `readme` was also slightly improved, simply tweaks to express how best to
run the test suite.
* Ensure dry-run works with `:current_release` variable (Carol Nichols)
* Added a new variable `:git_submodules_recursive`, setting the value to false
will ensure Git doesn't recursively initialize and checkout submodules. (Konstantin Kudryashov)
* Added an additional task option, `:on_no_matching_servers`, setting the
value to `:continue` will ensure tasks with no matched servers continue
without error, instead of raising `Capistrano::NoMatchingServersError` as was
the previous behaviour. (Chris Griego)
A huge thanks to all contributors, as always!
Remember: @capistranorb on twitter for news.
## 2.6.1 / June 25 2011
A short maintenance release, Some fixes to the verbose flag inside the Git SCM
as well as another argument for the (internal) `variable()` command, offering
a default. The Git SCM is now verbose by default, but can be disabled by
setting `:scm_verbose` to false.
There has been an additional method added to string, within the context of the
test suite, I'm always sketchy about adding additional methods to core
classes, but it's a short term fix until I make the time to patch the test
suite not to compare strings literally. The method is `String#compact`, and is
implemented simply as `self.gsub(/\s+/, ' ')`.
Here's the run-down of changes, and their committers, as always - a huge thank
you to the community that continues to drive Capistrano's development.
* `deploy:setup` now respects `:group_writable` (Daniel Duvall)
* Fixes to `:scm_verbose` for the Git module (defaults to On.) (Matthew Davies)
* Will now copy hidden files in the project's root into the release
directory (Mark Jaquith)
* Now handles closing already-dead connections in a sane way (does not raise
an exception) (Will Bryant)
* Renamed `Capistrano::VERSION::TINY` to `Capistrano::VERSION::PATCH` (Lee
Hambley)
* Removed the `VERSION` file (Lee Hambley)

Prehistory
==========
The content below this section comes from older versions of Fabric which wrote
out changelogs to individual, undated files. They have been concatenated and
preserved here for historical reasons, and may not be in strict chronological
order.
----
Changes in version 1.1.2 (2011-07-07)
=====================================
Bugfixes
--------
* :issue:`375`: The logic used to separate tasks from modules when running
``fab --list`` incorrectly considered task classes implementing the mapping
interface to be modules, not individual tasks. This has been corrected.
Thanks to Vladimir Mihailenco for the catch.
Dragonfly users, please test that is still builds !
pkgsrc change: as snmp support doesn't depend on net-snmp
anymore, remove snmp option and always build snmp support.
cgi option now depend on graphics/gd/

This makes it more portable and eliminates need to move libsnmp.so
to /lib in order to do a killpower on systems where /usr is
unmounted.
2009-09-01 20:30 adk0212
* src/apctest.c:
Implement battery calibration in apctest for USB models. Thanks to
James Belleau <james@belleau.net> for the original implementation
which has been modified somewhat in this commit.
2009-05-02 10:30 adk0212
* src/action.c:
Change log level of UPS self-test messages to WARNING from ALERT.
Given that self-test messages are routine, they do not belong at
LOG_ALERT. Contributed by Dave Ewart <davee@ceu.ox.ac.uk>.
2009-04-25 10:58 adk0212
* src/lib/apcconfig.c:
Remove EVENTFILE, EVENTFILEMAX config directives. These were
replaced by the plural versions that are in use today (EVENTSFILE,
EVENTSFILEMAX) almost 10 years ago. It's time to kill the old
names. (h/t Trevor Roydhouse <trev@sentry.org>)

Add support for turning the UPS off completely. This complements
existing hibernate (aka killpower) functionality. Turn-off is
implemented for apcsmart and USB drivers, subject to support for
the relevant commands in the UPS itself. Contributed by Keith
Campbell <campbell@econnectix.com>.
2008-06-29 11:12 adk0212
* src/action.c:
Fix bug in LOWBATT glitch handling. We must examine LOWBATT for
changes every time thru the status loop, not just during the
OnBattery state. Otherwise we can miss the initial LOWBATT
assertion, which defeats the glitch rejection logic.
2008-05-06 20:16 skoona
* src/gapcmon/gapcmon.c:
Corrected the use of NOMPOWER and the calc of current usage amount
2008-05-04 11:13 adk0212
* src/drivers/usb/usb.c:
Add a heuristic to fix up incorrect NOMINV or NOMOUTV. Some UPSes
(RS 500) report decivolts instead of volts. Reported by Kirill S.
Bychkov <yason@linklevel.net>.
2008-01-27 12:00 adk0212

libvirt is:
+ A toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent
versions of operating systems, see our project goals for details.
+ A long term stable C API
+ A set of bindings for common languages
+ A CIM provider for the DMTF virtualization schema
+ A QMF agent for the AMQP/QPid messaging system
libvirt supports:
+ The KVM/QEMU Linux hypervisor
+ The Xen hypervisor
+ The LXC Linux container system
+ The OpenVZ Linux container system
+ The User Mode Linux paravirtualized kernel
+ The VirtualBox hypervisor
+ The VMware ESX and GSX hypervisors
+ The VMware Workstation and Player hypervisors
+ Virtual networks using bridging, NAT, VEPA and VN-LINK.
+ Storage on IDE/SCSI/USB disks, FibreChannel, LVM, iSCSI, NFS and filesystems
libvirt provides:
+ Remote management using TLS encryption and x509 certificates
+ Remote management authenticating with Kerberos and SASL
+ Local access control using PolicyKit
+ Zero-conf discovery using Avahi multicast-DNS
+ Management of virtual machines, virtual networks and storage
I'm fairly sure that the NetBSD part of the bridging code still needs
some more work, but I'll leave that as an exercise for someone more
versed in it than I am.
Upstream changes highlights:
Many, many bugfixes.
In release 1.1, highlights are
* #76: New-style tasks have been added. With the addition of the task
decorator and the Task class, you can now "opt-in" and explicitly mark task
functions as tasks, and Fabric will ignore the rest. The original behavior (now
referred to as "classic" tasks) will still take effect if no new-style tasks are
found. Major thanks to Travis Swicegood for the original implementation.
* #56: Namespacing is now possible: Fabric will crawl imported module
objects looking for new-style task objects and build a dotted hierarchy (tasks
named e.g. web.deploy or db.migrations.run), allowing for greater organization.
See Namespaces for details. Thanks again to Travis Swicegood.
All:
- The makefile system now by default disables smake Simple Suffix Rules
and the POSIX Suffix Rules in order to speed up inference rule search.
Libschily:
- New functions mkgmtime() mklgmtime() and timegm()
Libfind:
- libfind no longer aborts with a lack of memory but writes an error
message
- libfind now correctly frees memory that has been allocated internaly
from treewalk()
Mkisofs (Maintained/enhanced by J
- Mkisofs now correctly supports El Torito multi boot entries by introducing
a Boot Dection Header before a list of alternate boot entries.
- New option -eltorito-platform allows to set the El Torito platform id
for a boot entry or for a list of boot entries. Supported values for the
parameter are:
- x86 the standard value vor x86 based PCs
- PPC the Power PC platform
- Mac The Apple Mac platform
- efi EFI based boot for PCs
- # an arbitrary numerical value
- New option -modification-date allows to specify a predictable UUID for grub.
The syntax is: YYYY[MM[DD[HH[MM[SS]]]]][.hh][+-GHGM] and is forgiving
enought to accept the pupular POSIX date format created by:
date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %z"
Release date: 2011-05-26 05:28 UTC
Changelog:
- Improved the console handler's stream handling. (Bug 17874)
