There are 4 new ports for the week of June 23 to June 30:
|
Some ports had updates that users should be aware of.
Ports are listed in the order they were committed to the tree:
- books/wndw
- Wireless Networking in the Developing World is a free book about designing, implementing, and maintaining low-cost wireless networks. Available in English, Spanish, French and Arabic editions.
- security/hatchet
- Hatchet is a log parsing/presentation program written for PF firewall logs, such as those found in OpenBSD. It offers a browser-based interface for quickly reviewing log events and performing deeper analysis.
- net/argus
- Argus is a fixed-model real time flow monitor designed to track and report on the status and performance of all network transactions seen in a data network traffic stream. Argus provides a common data format for reporting flow metrics such as connectivity, capacity, demand, loss, delay, and jitter on a per transaction basis. The record format that Argus uses is flexible and extensible, supporting generic flow identifiers and metrics, as well as application/protocol specific information.
- net/argus-clients
- Argus data clients support a range of operations on binary flow data from Argus, such as sorting, aggregation, archival and reporting.
Port update notes:
-
devel/jdk:
Deprecate 1.3 and 1.4 due to lack of security updates, end-of-life status or near eol, and bulk build time. This removes the limited Java support we had on arm, powerpc and sparc until such time OpenJDK/IcedTea can replace it. 1.3 and 1.4 ports directories will be removed next release to avoid bit rot. -
devel/jdk/:
Remove work-arounds for missing getpwuid_r now that we have it. -
audio/vorbis-tools:
SECURITY FIX for SA29727 "Speex Header Processing Vulnerability". (CVE-2008-1686). -
misc/dialog:
Update to Thomas Dickey's fixed version. Add license marker. -
telephony/asterisk:
Bugfix update to 1.4.21.1, fixing a fairly major problem introduced in 1.4.21 by correcting the order of lock and unlock in a deadlock avoidance macro. No other changes. Not security, but if you're running 1.4.21, you definitely want this.

Glad you liked it :-) It covers a lot of ground (for those who didn't look yet, this includes: IP networking, RF propagation, antenna construction, solar power) in a nice level of detail. Highly recommended for anyone interested in these things.

My pleasure. It's been a long time in the works but hopefully now will get the TLC it deserves. I've already issued a fix in the repository that should be updated in the port very soon (tonight?).

Best test report ever. Well, it rivals the one from misc about modulate state.

I just released a bugfix version and updated the port. Delete your pflog.db, update to 0.9.1, and try again.

Oh yeah, and make sure you point your browser to /cgi/events.pl. Somehow I completely missed documenting this vital bit of information. :(
