New Ports of the Week #7 (February 16)

Contributed by merdely on from the not-just-new-ports dept.

There are 5 new ports for the week of February 10 to February 16:
audio/aqualung, mail/claws-mail-clamav, sysutils/krename, www/drupal5, www/p5-HTML-Tidy
Ports with updates that users should know about:
sysutils/bacula, sysutils/login_ldap, databases/openldap,bdb, devel/jdk/1.4, devel/jdk/1.5

Ports are listed in the order they were committed to the tree:

  • mail/claws-mail-clamav
    • The Clam Antivirus plugin provides anti-virus capabilities for Claws Mail. The Clam AntiVirus plugin features are:
      • Filtering infected messages when mail is received and moving them to a specific folder or destroying them completely.
      • Scanning the contents of attached archive files.
      It was previously a subpackage of claws-mail but moved outside official distfile due to licencing issues.
  • sysutils/krename
    • KRename is a powerful batch renamer for KDE. It allows you to easily rename hundreds or even more files in one go. The filenames can be created by parts of the original filename, numbering the files or accessing information about the file, like creation date or Exif informations of an image, thanks to KDE file plugins.
  • audio/aqualung
    • Aqualung is an advanced music player. It plays audio CDs, Internet radio streams and podcasts as well as sound files in just about any audio format and has the feature of inserting no gaps between adjacent tracks.
  • www/drupal5
    • Drupal is a content management system that allows an individual or a community of users to easily publish, manage and organize a wide variety of content on a website. It features many add-on modules and themes.
  • www/p5-HTML-Tidy
    • HTML::Tidy is an HTML checker in a handy dandy object. It's meant as a replacement for HTML::Lint. If you're currently an HTML::Lint user looking to migrate, see the manual section "Converting from HTML::Lint".

Port update notes:

  • bacula: The bacula MULTI_PACKAGES has changed. There is no longer a bacula-$V subpackage which contains both the -client and -server subpackages. To completely install bacula, install both -client and -server.
  • login_ldap: The configuration options that go in login.conf(5) have changed. Refer to login_ldap(8).
  • openldap,bdb: The bdb flavor for openldap is unstable and has been removed. See Stu Henderson's (sthen@) ports@ post for upgrade details.
  • jdk/1.4: JDK 1.4 now bootstraps with Kaffe so Linux Emulation is no longer needed.
  • jdk/1.5: JDK 1.5 now includes amd64 plugin support.

    I'm happy to see the addition of the "Port update notes" section here. I get the weekly ports changes mails, but the summary here is useful to me if only for the fact that I don't always wade through it all. Keep up the good work!

      Yep, and it's great to see Java updates :)

    Come on, Mike, www/drupal5 is *not* one port, it's a set of about 40 ports, between the core system, and a big selection of useful modules and a few themes.

    One big issue with drupal is that there are too many modules to choose from, in many cases. Hence the selection. Most of these modules are in production use right now, which does explain why I keep committing a few small improvements.

      You're right. I took the lazy way out. :)

      Unfortunately, I also have drupal in production, and the main problem with the majority of the modules is the "I run drupal on mysql, how could anyone else use something different?" This sucks when you buy into the cross-database promises of the system.

        With drupal6 this mess has been cleaned a lil' bit. From the release notes: "improving compatibility of both core and contributed modules with databases other than MySQL."

        ... testing the current modules with pgsql, a few fixes are indeed needed, but we're getting there.


        I assume you're not trying anything weirder, are you ?

          At first glance, most things seem to be repaired... except for backup_migrate, but this one is really mysql specific...

          dba works, on the other hand (not quite the same interface, but mostly the same functionality).

          pathauto was the most fun to fix, since it doesn't tell you what goes wrong during install...

    Glad to see login_ldap in!
    Thanks merdely@ for taking over this one!
