--- 20001024 Documentation: the canonical, virtual etc. manual pages did not document the effect of leading whitespace. 20001025 Bugfix: virtual map expansion stopped too early with self-referential aliases. Reported by Michael Douglass @ datafoundry.net. File: cleanup/cleanup_map1n.c. 20001026 Horror: postmap and postalias (newaliases) silently lose the file lock while building a lookup table with Berkeley DB 2.x and later on Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, and UNIXWARE. The result is that table lookups fail while the table is being built, so that mail is lost. In order to avoid this misbehavior one has to use an undocumented feature that is NOT available with the DB1.85 compatibility interface. Therefore, Postfix now supports three Berkeley DB programming interfaces of increasing complexity. File: util/dict_db.c. Bugfix: some character manipulations were not portable for signed/unsigned characters. Files: global/quote_821_local.c, global/quote_822_local.c. Workaround: apparently, some software sends SMTP mail that begins with "From sender time-stamp". Sendmail silently ignores such RFC violating garbage, and therefore Postfix needs to jump another hoop. File: smtpd/smtpd.c. 20001028 Bugfix: the flush server tried to access config files after going to the chroot jail. Found by Lutz Jaenicke, TU-Cottbus.DE. File: flush/flush.c. Update: revised LDAP module from primary maintainer John Hensley, with contributions from many other people. Files: util/dict_ldap.c, LDAP_README. Update: LINUX2 chroot setup script by Matthias Andree, uni-dortmund.de. Feature: specify unix:/path/name for LMTP connections over UNIX-domain sockets, and specify inet:host or inet:host:port for IPV4. If no unix: or inet: is specified, IPV4 is assumed. File: lmtp/lmtp_connect.c. Feature: added UNIX-domain support to the smtpstone test programs in order to test the LMTP client UNIX-domain support. 20001030 Bugfix: further testing in preparation for 19991231-pl10 revealed that the DB map code was now broken for every platform. 20001031 Performance: the slow start (gradually increase number of parallel connections to the same site) was too gentle and Postfix would back off too quickly. Files: qmgr/qmgr_queue.c and nqmgr/qmgr_queue.c. 20001101 FAQ update by Ralph Hildebrandt. 20001104 Portability: RedHat Linux has changed incompatibly, again. Fixed with the help of Matthias Andree. File: makedefs. 20001109 Cleanup: changed prototype of internal function that did not return a useful result. File: src/util/vstream_popen.c. 20001110 Workaround: the Debian post install script passes an open file descriptor into the master server and waits forever. Reported by Lamont Jones. File: master/master.c. 20001114 Compatibility: added sendmail -G (gateway submission) option for compatibility with the sendmail rmail command. Requested by David Gilbert, Velocet Communications. 20001116 Documentation: added MAILER-DAEMON to the list of sample masquerade_exceptions settings in conf/sample-rewrite.cf. Suggested by Karl O. Pinc, pop.artic.edu. Performance: the slow start (gradually increase number of parallel connections to the same site) was too gentle and Postfix would back off too quickly. Files: qmgr/qmgr_queue.c and nqmgr/qmgr_queue.c. Yup, changed the same code, again. We now allow for a margin above the actual concurrency, with the size of the initial destination concurrency. Final solution by Patrik Rak. Bugfix: the recipient home directory test broke mailbox_transport support for non-UNIX recipients. File: local/recipient.c. 20001117 Robustness: additional integrity tests for the nqmgr by Patrik Rak. File: nqmgr/qmgr_message.c. 20001118 Bugfix: the new LDAP client code did not work properly if the new ldap_domain parameter was not specified. LaMont Jones, HP. File: util/dict_ldap.c. Feature: the soft_bounce safety net is extended to the SMTP server. With "soft_bounce = yes", The SMTP server changes all 5xx (reject) replies into 4xx (try again) replies. Documentation: the virtual(5) man page now documents both Postfix-style virtual domains and Sendmail-style virtual domains, including their interaction with local usernames, aliases and mailing lists. Hopefully, this ends some of the confusion surrounding virtual domain support. Updated several FAQ entries concerning virtual domain support. Documentation: added FAQ entry for the biff service. 20001119 Bugfix: per-destination queue names were case sensitive so that the same site could have multiple queues. Reported by Patrik Rak. Files: *qmgr/qmgr_message.c. 20001120 Bugfix: per-destination deferred mail logfiles were case sensitive so that the same site could have multiple deferred mail logfiles, so that not all mail would be flushed with ETRN. Reported by Ralph Hildebrandt. Files: flush/flush.c. Portability: added (int) casts to printf-like arguments that specify the width of %*letter conversions. On some systems, sizeof and pointer difference expressions are wider than an int. Reported by Valentin Nechayev @ lucky.net. 20001121: Compatibility: Postfix now retries delivery when an external command is killed by a signal, because people expect such behavior from Sendmail. File: global/pipe_command.c. |

$NetBSD: README,v 1.11 2000/07/23 18:02:33 fredb Exp $ Welcome to the NetBSD Packages Collection ========================================= In brief, the NetBSD Packages Collection is a set of software utilities and libraries which have been ported to NetBSD. The packages collection software can retrieve the software from its home site, assuming you are connected in some way to the Internet, verify its integrity, apply any patches, configure the software for NetBSD, and build it. Any prerequisite software will also be built and installed for you. Installation and de-installation of software is managed by the packaging utilities. The packages collection is made into a tar_file every week: ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tar.gz and you can sup the pkgsrc tree using the `pkgsrc' name for the collection. The pkgsrc tree is laid out in various categories, and, within that, the various packages themselves. You need to have root privileges to install packages. We are looking at ways to remove this restriction. + To install a package on your system, you need to change into the directory of the package, and type "make install". + If you've made a mistake, and decided that you don't want that package on your system, then type "pkg_delete <pkg-name>", or "make deinstall" while in the directory for the package. + To find out all the packages that you have installed on your system, type "pkg_info". + To remove the work directory, type "make clean", and "make clean-depends" will clean up any working directories for other packages that are built in the process of making your package. + Optionally, you can periodically run "make clean" from the top level pkgsrc directory. This will delete extracted and built files, but will not affect the retreived source sets in pkgsrc/distfiles. + You can set variables to customise the behaviour (where packages are installed, various options for individual packages etc), by setting variables in /etc/mk.conf. The pkgsrc/mk/mk.conf.example file provides some examples for customisation. The best way to find out what packages are in the collection is to move to the top-level pkgsrc directory (this will usually be /usr/pkgsrc), and type "make readme". This will create a file called README.html in the top-level pkgsrc directory, and also in all category and package directories. You can then see what packages are available, along with a short (one-line) comment about the function of the package, and a pointer to a fuller description, by using a browser like lynx (see pkgsrc/www/lynx) or Mozilla (pkgsrc/www/mozilla), or Communicator. This is also available online as ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/README.html. Another way to find out what packages are in the collection is to move to the top-level pkgsrc directory and type "make index". This will create pkgsrc/INDEX which can be viewed via "make print-index | more". You can also search for particular packages or keywords via "make search key=<somekeyword>". It is also possible to use the packaging software to install pre-compiled binary packages by typing "pkg_add <URL-of-binary-pkg>". To see what binary packages are available, see: ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/<release>/<arch>/All/ where <release> is the NetBSD release, and <arch> is the hardware architecture. One limitation of using binary packages provided from ftp.netbsd.org is that all mk.conf options were set to the defaults at compile time. LOCALBASE, in particular, defaults to /usr/pkg, so non-X binaries will be installed in /usr/pkg/bin, man pages will be installed in /usr/pkg/man... When a packaged tool has major compile time choices, such as support for multiple graphic toolkit libraries, the different options may be available as separate packages. For more information on the packages collection see the file Packages.txt where you found this README, or in your top-level pkgsrc directory.
