--- 9.2.0a1 released --- 850. [bug] dns_rbt_findnode() would not find nodes that were split on a bitstring label somewhere other than in the last label of the node. [RT #1351] 849. [func] <isc/net.h> will ensure INADDR_LOOPBACK is defined. 848. [func] A minimum max-cache-size of two megabytes is enforced by the cache cleaner. 847. [func] Added isc_file_test(), which currently only has some very basic functionality to test for the existence of a file, whether a pathname is absolute, or whether a pathname is the fundamental representation of the current directory. It is intended that this function can be expanded to test other things a programmer might want to know about a file. 846. [func] A non-zero 'param' do dst_key_generate() when making an hmac-md5 key means that good entropy is not required. 845. [bug] The access rights on the public file of a symmetric key are now restricted as soon as the file is opened, rather than after it has been written and closed. 844. [func] <isc/net.h> will ensure INADDR_LOOPBACK is defined, just as <lwres/net.h> does. 843. [func] If no controls statement is present in named.conf, or if any inet phrase of a controls statement is lacking a keys clause, then a key will be automatically generated by named and an rndc.conf-style file named named.key will be written that uses it. rndc will use this file only if its normal configuration file, or one provided on the command line, does not exist. 842. [func] 'rndc flush' now takes an optional view. 841. [bug] When sdb modules were not declared threadsafe, their create and destroy functions were not serialized. 840. [bug] The config file parser could print the wrong file name if an error was detected after an included file was parsed. [RT #1353] 839. [func] Dump packets for which there was no view or that the class could not be determined to category "unmatched". 838. [port] UnixWare 7.x.x is now suported by bin/tests/system/ifconfig.sh. 837. [cleanup] Multithreading is now enabled by default only on OSF1, Solaris 2.7 and newer, and AIX. 836. [func] Upgraded libtool to 1.4. 835. [bug] The dispatcher could enter a busy loop if it got an I/O error receiving on a UDP socket. [RT #1293] 834. [func] Accept (but warn about) master files beginning with an SOA record without an explicit TTL field and lacking a $TTL directive, by using the SOA MINTTL as a default TTL. This is for backwards compatibility with old versions of BIND 8, which accepted such files without warning although they are illegal according to RFC1035. 833. [cleanup] Moved dns_soa_*() from <dns/journal.h> to <dns/soa.h>, and extended them to support all the integer-valued fields of the SOA RR. 832. [bug] The default location for named.conf in named-checkconf should depend on --sysconfdir like it does in named. [RT #1258] 831. [placeholder] 830. [func] Implement 'rndc status'. 829. [bug] The DNS_R_ZONECUT result code should only be returned when an ANY query is made with DNS_DBFIND_GLUEOK set. In all other ANY query cases, returning the delegation is better. 828. [bug] The errno value from recvfrom() could be overwritten by logging code. [RT #1293] 827. [bug] When an IXFR protocol error occurs, the slave should retry with AXFR. 826. [bug] Some IXFR protocol errors were not detected. 825. [bug] zone.c:ns_query() detached from the wrong zone reference. [RT #1264] 824. [bug] Correct line numbers reported by dns_master_load(). [RT #1263] 823. [func] The output of "dig -h" now goes to stdout so that it can easily be piped through "more". [RT #1254] 822. [bug] Sending nxrrset prerequisites would crash nsupdate. [RT #1248] 821. [bug] The program name used when logging to syslog should be stripped of leading path components. [RT #1178, #1232] 820. [bug] Name server address lookups failed to follow A6 chains into the glue of local authoritative zones. 819. [bug] In certain cases, the resolver's attempts to restart an address lookup at the root could cause the fetch to deadlock (with itself) instead of restarting. [RT #1225] 818. [bug] Certain pathological responses to ANY queries could cause an assertion failure. [RT #1218] 817. [func] Adjust timeouts for dialup zone queries. 816. [bug] Report potential problems with log file accessibility at configuration time, since such problems can't reliably be reported at the time they actually occur. 815. [bug] If a log file was specified with a path separator character (i.e. "/") in its name and the directory did not exist, the log file's name was treated as though it were the directory name. [RT #1189] 814. [bug] Socket objects left over from accept() failures were incorrectly destroyed, causing corruption of socket manager data structures. 813. [bug] File descriptors exceeding FD_SETSIZE were handled badly. [RT #1192] 812. [bug] dig sometimes printed incomplete IXFR responses due to an uninitialized variable. [RT #1188] 811. [bug] Parentheses were not quoted in zone dumps. [RT #1194] 810. [bug] The signer name in SIG records was not properly downcased when signing/verifying records. [RT #1186] 809. [bug] Configuring a non-local address as a transfer-source could cause an assertion failure during load. 808. [func] Add 'rndc flush' to flush the server's cache. 807. [bug] When setting up TCP connections for incoming zone transfers, the transfer-source port was not ignored like it should be. 806. [bug] DNS_R_SEENINCLUDE was failing to propagate back up the calling stack to the zone maintence level, causing zones to not reload when an included file was touched but the top-level zone file was not. 805. [bug] When using "forward only", missing root hints should not cause queries to fail. [RT #1143] 804. [bug] Attempting to obtain entropy could fail in some situations. This would be most common on systems with user-space threads. [RT #1131] 803. [bug] Treat all SIG queries as if they have the CD bit set, otherwise no data will be returned [RT #749] 802. [bug] DNSSEC key tags were computed incorrectly in almost all cases. [RT #1146] 801. [bug] nsupdate should treat lines beginning with ';' as comments. [RT #1139] 800. [bug] dnssec-signzone produced incorrect statistics for large zones. [RT #1133] 799. [bug] The ADB didn't find AAAA glue in a zone unless A6 glue was also present. 798. [bug] nsupdate should be able to reject bad input lines and continue. [RT #1130] 797. [func] Issue a warning if the 'directory' option contains a relative path. [RT #269] 796. [func] When a size limit is associated with a log file, only roll it when the size is reached, not every time the log file is opened. [RT #1096] 795. [func] Add the +multiline option to dig. [RT #1095] 794. [func] Implement the "port" and "default-port" statements in rndc.conf. 793. [cleanup] The DNSSEC tools could create filenames that were illegal or contained shell metacharacters. They now use a different text encoding of names that doesn't have these problems. [RT #1101] 792. [cleanup] Replace the OMAPI command channel protocol with a simpler one. 791. [bug] The command channel now works over IPv6. 790. [bug] Wildcards created using dynamic update or IXFR could fail to match. [RT #1111] 789. [bug] The "localhost" and "localnets" ACLs did not match when used as the second element of a two-element sortlist item. 788. [func] Add the "match-mapped-addresses" option, which causes IPv6 v4mapped addresses to be treated as IPv4 addresses for the purpose of acl matching. 787. [bug] The DNSSEC tools failed to downcase domain names when mapping them into file names. 786. [bug] When DNSSEC signing/verifying data, owner names were not properly downcased. 785. [bug] A race condition in the resolver could cause an assertion failure. [RT #673, #872, #1048] 784. [bug] nsupdate and other programs would not quit properly if some signals were blocked by the caller. [RT #1081] 783. [bug] Following CNAMEs could cause an assertion failure when either using an sdb database or under very rare conditions. 782. [func] Implement the "serial-query-rate" option. 781. [func] Avoid error packet loops by dropping duplicate FORMERR responses. [RT #1006] 780. [bug] Error handling code dealing with out of memory or other rare errors could lead to assertion failures by calling functions on unitialized names. [RT #1065] 779. [func] Added the "minimal-responses" option. 778. [bug] When starting cache cleaning, cleaning_timer_action() returned without first pausing the iterator, which could cause deadlock. [RT #998] 777. [bug] An empty forwarders list in a zone failed to override global forwarders. [RT #995] 776. [func] Improved error reporting in denied messages. [RT #252] 775. [placeholder] 774. [func] max-cache-size is implemented. 773. [func] Added isc_rwlock_trylock() to attempt to lock without blocking. 772. [bug] Owner names could be incorrectly omitted from cache dumps in the presence of negative caching entries. [RT #991] 771. [cleanup] TSIG errors related to unsynchronized clocks are logged better. [RT #919] 770. [func] Add the "edns yes_or_no" statement to the server clause. [RT #524] 769. [func] Improved error reporting when parsing rdata. [RT #740] 768. [bug] The server did not emit an SOA when a CNAME or DNAME chain ended in NXDOMAIN in an authoritative zone. 767. [placeholder] 766. [bug] A few cases in query_find() could leak fname. This would trigger the mpctx->allocated == 0 assertion when the server exited. [RT #739, #776, #798, #812, #818, #821, #845, #892, #935, #966] 765. [func] ACL names are once again case insensitive, like in BIND 8. [RT #252] 764. [func] Configuration files now allow "include" directives in more places, such as inside the "view" statement. [RT #377, #728, #860] 763. [func] Configuration files no longer have reserved words. [RT #731, #753] 762. [cleanup] The named.conf and rndc.conf file parsers have been completely rewritten. 761. [bug] _REENTRANT was still defined when building with --disable-threads. 760. [contrib] Significant enhancements to the pgsql sdb driver. 759. [bug] The resolver didn't turn off "avoid fetches" mode when restarting, possibly causing resolution to fail when it should not. This bug only affected platforms which support both IPv4 and IPv6. [RT #927] 758. [bug] The "avoid fetches" code did not treat negative cache entries correctly, causing fetches that would be useful to be avoided. This bug only affected platforms which support both IPv4 and IPv6. [RT #927] 757. [func] Log zone transfers. 756. [bug] dns_zone_load() could "return" success when no master file was configured. 755. [bug] Fix incorrectly formatted log messages in zone.c. 754. [bug] Certain failure conditions sending UDP packets could cause the server to retry the transmission indefinitely. [RT #902] 753. [bug] dig, host, and nslookup would fail to contact a remote server if getaddrinfo() returned an IPv6 address on a system that doesn't support IPv6. [RT #917] 752. [func] Correct bad tv_usec elements returned by gettimeofday(). 751. [func] Log successful zone loads / transfers. [RT #898] 750. [bug] A query should not match a DNAME whose trust level is pending. [RT #916] 749. [bug] When a query matched a DNAME in a secure zone, the server did not return the signature of the DNAME. [RT #915] 748. [doc] List supported RFCs in doc/misc/rfc-compliance. [RT #781] 747. [bug] The code to determine whether an IXFR was possible did not properly check for a database that could not have a journal. [RT #865, #908] 746. [bug] The sdb didn't clone rdatasets properly, causing a crash when the server followed delegations. [RT #905] 745. [func] Report the owner name of records that fail semantic checks while loading. 744. [bug] When returning DNS_R_CNAME or DNS_R_DNAME as the result of an ANY or SIG query, the resolver failed to setup the return event's rdatasets, causing an assertion failure in the query code. [RT #881] 743. [bug] Receiving a large number of certain malformed answers could cause named to stop responding. [RT #861] |

$NetBSD: README,v 1.12 2001/06/06 19:41:05 hubertf 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 file in the same place where you found this README, usually in the top-level pkgsrc dir. directory.
