Automatic conversion of the NetBSD pkgsrc CVS module, use with care
6529e963b2
Fix PLIST while here.
Changes:
version 7.2.7 (Apr 9, 2003):
- added test suite ('make test') for basic client/server
communication tests
- changed configure script to provide better checking of options,
hp-ux specifics, and functions
- console names are no longer case-sensitive
- fixed case-sensitive DNS name comparisons - reported by
Peter Chubb via Jorgen Hagg
- added dmalloc and openssl version numbers to -V output
- reordered includes for openssl-0.9.7a compatibility
- conserver.rc looks at pidfile to find the master pid - suggested
by Petter Reinholdtsen
- misplaced code regarding --with-regex - patch by Andreas Wrede
- added password support for HP-UX trusted systems - immense
help by Greg Brown
- potential SIGUSR1 bug where cached terminal server availability
wasn't being cleared correctly - reported by Dave Stuit
- server is now more forgiving about errors instead of just
giving up and shutting everything down
- consoles that have trouble coming up (and are forced down)
now log when they come back up - suggested by Dave Stuit
version 7.2.6 (Mar 10, 2003):
- the -b conserver option was mostly broken (since 7.2.0)
- changed logging format so that all messages are of a similar
form
- fixed bad port number in 'cached previous timeout' message -
reported by Dave Stuit
- now using pid_t type for better compatibility
- fixed the RPM and Solaris package to include the man
page for conserver.passwd - suggested by R P Herrold
- added restart option (-HUP) to conserver startup scripts
- added -B option to client for sending messages to a single
server - suggested by Dave Stuit
- added --with-dmalloc for memory usage debugging
- bug with multiple interfaces and -M option not maching hostname
in configuration file - patch by Igor Sviridov
- memory leak using openssl library plugged
- automatic reinitialization of failed consoles now retries
every minute like the manpage says it does - reported by Chris
Fowler
- when -R option is used, substring matches on console names
from clients only match local console names (and if that
fails just remote console names) but ambiguous name list
returns both local and remote consoles - suggested by Todd
Stansell
version 7.2.5 (Jan 27, 2003):
- fixed many documentation bugs - reported by Dave Stuit
- added -I option to client which operates like -i, but on the
primary conserver only - suggested by Dave Stuit
- added SIGUSR2, which does not reread the configuration file,
but does everything else SIGHUP does - suggested at LISA 2002
- fixed bug where LOGDIR setting gets used even if no logfile
is wanted
- added -R option to server to prevent client redirection to
other conserver hosts - suggested by Todd Stansell
version 7.2.4 (Oct 14, 2002):
- added --with-openssl for some client/server encryption
- added -E option to client and server to allow for non-encrypted
connections (encryption is the default if compiled in)
- added -c option so credentials (certificate and key) can be
exchanged between client and server
- expanded -V output to show what optional bits actually got
compiled into the code (libwrap, regex, etc)
- compilation errors on non-shadow file systems without using
--with-pam - reported by Jesper Frank Nemholt
- client now prefers $LOGNAME, then $USER, then the current uid
for its -l default - suggested by Dave Stuit
- putting back socklen_t usage - it's the right thing to do,
so tell me where it breaks things
- configure options --with-cffile and --with-pwdfile now
by Stu May
- added -F server option to prevent automatic reinitialization
of failed consoles ('|' syntax consoles which exit with a
zero status are still reinitialized) - requested by William P
LePera and Malcolm Gibbs
- successful automatic reinitialization of consoles now attaches
a client that wants read-write mode
- added read-only client wish to become read-write in -i output
- moved to autoconf-2.54 and fixed some small configure.in bugs
Many thanks to John R. Jackson for the following
fixes, cleanups, and enhancements...
- "lost timestamps" bug (SIGALRM/sleep()/usleep()/tcp_wrapper
interaction)
- compiler warnings, bad fileOpenFD tests, and ability to use
a colon after an equal in the config file (LOGDIR=C:\Logs)
- autologin fix for Solaris BSM support
version 7.2.2 (Jun 05, 2002):
- added 'n' as token for no-parity - patch by Greg A. Woods
- extra timestamps occur when consoles come back up after being
down longer than their timestamp period - reported by Dave
Stuit
- AIX 5.1 pseudo-terminal support broken - patch by William P
LePera
- PID file overwritten and not unlinked on exit - reported by
William P LePera
- signals cleaned up in master, child, and sub-proc sections
- SIGPIPE now ignored - reported by Greg A. Woods

$NetBSD: README,v 1.15 2003/05/06 17:40:18 jmmv 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/bsd.pkg.defaults.mk gives the defaults which are used in pkgsrc. This file can be used as a guide to set values in /etc/mk.conf - it is only necessary to set values where they differ from the defaults. 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 directory.
