2005-06-09Update to version 1.11.3salo2-7/+6
Changes: ### SECURITY BUGFIXES - Fetchnews did not detect timeouts while it was downloading an article header, which malicious upstream servers could exploit to mount a denial of service attack against the fetchnews client. See leafnode-SA-2005-02.txt. CVE Name: CAN-2005-1911 ### BUGFIXES - Bugfix sed expression in makesubst script. (Reported by Jeff Zacharias.) ### CHANGES - texpire now tags the message.id expired count with "message.id" rather than "total:" to avoid misleading the user who assumes that "total:" would have to be the sum of the group counts. See also the FAQ change below. SourceForge bug #1215453. - When debugmode and verbose mode are set, leafnode programs now print a warning to stdout that the user should check syslog.conf and the syslog output rather than the screen print for debugging and sleeps for three seconds. ### DOCUMENTATION - Add FAQ entry to explain discrepancies between texpire group counts and message.id expired articles counts. - Add FAQ entry to explain influence of Gnus' gnus-read-active-file setting on lost subscriptions, and extend stop fetchnews from unsubscribing FAQ. Debian bug #307685. - Drop FAQ entry on license issues as some parts of leafnode are in fact GPLd. - Drop FAQ entry on why old articles aren't posted, obsolete since 1.9.33. - INSTALL and INSTALL_de have been polished. - Add a hint that syslog.conf must be edited to config.example. - leafnode(8) mentions that LIST ACTIVE keeps an existing subscription fresh.

2005-05-23Removed trailing white-space.rillig3-3/+3
2005-05-22Remove USE_GNU_TOOLS and replace with the correct USE_TOOLS definitions:jlam3-6/+6
USE_GNU_TOOLS -> USE_TOOLS awk -> gawk m4 -> gm4 make -> gmake sed -> gsed yacc -> bison
2005-05-13Upgrade to 1.11.2:kim3-17/+17
* Fix segfault when timeout or connection reset encountered while article header is read. * fetchnews will no longer re-fetch the active file for a server if it has been completely received even if fetching articles from this server encounters a problem. Long-standing bug. Debian bug #70052. * fetchnews will now properly mark the active for complete re-fetch if it says so. Previously, it forgot the mark in some circumstances. A problem fetching the active file or descriptions for a newly added server will now mark the active for re-fetch even if articles have successfully been retrieved from the same server. * Fix use-after-free segfault when server dies while body is being received. * Support quoted strings on the right hand side of configuration lines. * Support IPv6 in fetchnews as well. * In LIST ACTIVE/GROUP, keep group interesting in spite of being pseudo (which includes empty) as long as it is interesting. Avoids unsubscription of low-traffic groups that fall empty.
2005-05-09Do not use libcompat on Darwin.minskim1-2/+2
2005-05-02RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR is no longer customizable.reed1-1/+2
And always is defined as share/examples/rc.d which was the default before. This rc.d scripts are not automatically added to PLISTs now also. So add to each corresponding PLIST as required. This was discussed on tech-pkg in late January and late April. Todo: remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR uses in MESSAGES and elsewhere and remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR itself.
2005-04-26Update from maintainer of package sent via PR #30059. (I only testedreed2-7/+6
build and install.) Update to 0.27.1 version. Changes from ChangeLog: 2004-12-20 v0.27.1: * Fix error in configure script when printing exceptions not found message, du e to unquoted string. (Reported by M.J. Soft) * Fix -G* when NGETCACHE != NGETHOME. (Reported by Steven Adeff) * Fix midinfo and newsgroups files not honoring NGETCACHE/cachedir setting. (R eported by Christian Marillat) * Allow absolute paths in --text=mbox:<filename>. (Requested by Volker Wysk) * Support tab as the field separator in XPAT results, for Newsplex server supp ort. (Requested by Mark Blain) * -a no longer gives an error if the server doesn't support LIST NEWSGROUPS(wh ich retrieves newsgroup descriptions.) * Fix printing a warning when loading newsgroups list which contains descripti ons of groups which no server actually carries. (Reported by Frederick Bruckman) * Fix problems loading group descriptions from newsgroups list which contain t abs. (Reported by Frederick Bruckman)
2005-04-22Remove newscache -- very outdated version that does not build with gcc3,wiz11-196/+1
and no taker for updating the package. Code has diverged a lot, so making a new package for the program is probably the same (or less) work as starting from this version.
2005-04-11Remove USE_BUILDLINK3 and NO_BUILDLINK; these are no longer used.tv11-22/+11
2005-04-11ensure that pkgsrc CFLAGS are used. Changes approved by recht.schwarz3-8/+24

2005-04-01Macros defined in "config.h" cause prototypes in <strings.h> to break,kim5-14/+67
so include the latter before the former.
2005-03-24Remove FreeBSD RCS Ids. pkgsrc has diverged too much for syncing to bewiz2-6/+2
useful.
2005-03-18Correct previous: The end of life webpage still exists at a differenttv1-3/+3
location; point HOMEPAGE there. Alter MASTER_SITES to provide a couple actually usable mirrors.
2005-03-18Unset HOMEPAGE; it's now owned by a domain squatter.tv1-2/+2
2005-03-15This uses %.o: %.c patterns -- thus it needs gmake. (Does not buildtv1-1/+2
properly on the older bmake in bootstrap.)
2005-03-12Use email addresses in the MAINTAINER field. Adding names produces uglyjmmv1-2/+2
results, specially in the bulk build reports, and we don't use this style anywhere else.

2004-12-29Use VARBASE.minskim1-2/+2
2004-12-28The default location of the pkgsrc-installed rc.d scripts is nowreed1-2/+2
under share/examples/rc.d. The variable name already was named RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR. This is from ideas from Greg Woods and others. Also bumped PKGREVISION for all packages using RCD_SCRIPTS mechanism (as requested by wiz).
2004-12-25Remove ftp.gw.com (mirror discontinued).kim1-5/+2
2004-12-24Remove ancient pan-gnome package because it has been vulnerable for a long ↵wiz8-174/+1
time now. Ok from rh, the maintainer.
2004-12-22Erm, fix previous, I understood this wrongly before... Linux/SunOS doesn'txtraeme1-3/+5
need -lcompat.
2004-12-22Linux needs -lcompat as well, noted by Sebastian Prause on tech-pkg@.xtraeme1-5/+3
2004-12-16add bin/metamutt and bin/url_handler.sh to PLIST, bump PKGREVISIONdillo2-2/+5
noted by wiz
2004-12-03Rename ALL_TARGET to BUILD_TARGET for consistency with other *_TARGETs.wiz2-4/+4
Suggested by Roland Illig, ok'd by various.
2004-11-30Bump PKGREVISION for removal of db3 buildlink3.mk file fromwiz1-2/+2
GConf's buildlink3.mk file. Bump BUILDLINK_DEPENDS where appropriate.
2004-11-19Update HOMEPAGE.wiz1-2/+2
2004-11-19Changes 0.9.8.1:adam5-80/+21
0. Bug fixes include: * slrnpull's download statistics should work correctly in offline mode. * slrn crashed on some operating systems when posting. * slrn crashed when trying to decode base64 encoded articles without body. * Don't destroy soft links / multiple hard links when writing newsrc file. * Always apply scoring rules in the order given in the scorefile. * When reading cross-posts, slrn sometimes marked additional articles in the other group(s) as read (Joerg Lueders). * slrnpull no longer posts backup copies (*~) of files you edited manually in the out.going directory. * slrnpull tries to write .headers files on interrupts. * The "Has-Body" scoring field sometimes did not work correctly. * When retrieving article children, headers without body were not marked. * Ignore signature delimiters in verbatim text blocks. * Do not choke on long header lines when replying by email. * A workaround for a bug in INN caused problems with leafnode; only use it when the server was recognized as INN from the logon message. * Fixed crash when running in wide terminals (John E. Davis) * Email address parser is more RFC2822 compliant 1. In the config file (and the corresponding intrinsic functions), the following names now denote special function keys: <PageUp> <PageDown> <Up> <Down> <Right> <Left> <Delete> <BackSpace> <Insert> <Home> <End> <Enter> <Return> <Tab> <Space> <Esc> and <F1> through <F12> If using these names does not seem to work for you, please make sure your terminfo settings are correct. 2. In true offline mode, slrnpull can now automatically retrieve bodies of articles that get a high score value (--fetch-score option). 3. Added Swedish translation (Johan Svedberg) 4. Make hide_pgpsignature hide GnuPGs optional "NotDashEscaped" lines.
2004-11-15update to 1.6.2, which was release over a year ago: bugfixesdillo2-5/+5
2004-10-15Update HOMEPAGE.kristerw1-2/+2
2004-10-04Revert last change.heinz1-2/+1
slrn does _not_ need libiconv (thanks wiz) despite what it says during configure stage. If package gettext-lib is not installed, slrn builds just fine without libiconv. A fix for this is supposed to be provided in the near future.
2004-10-03On NetBSD 1.6.2, slrn needs libiconv. If you were lucky this could be includedheinz1-1/+2
indirectly by gettext-lib (if USE_GNU_GETTEXT was defined elsewhere). Why this did not show up in the bulk builds I do not know. Thanks go to Michael van Elst for help in tracking this down.
2004-10-03Libtool fix for PR pkg/26633, and other issues. Update libtool to 1.5.10tv8-12/+16
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.) Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and installing .la files. Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above via a buildlink3 include.
2004-08-23Add and enable nget.recht1-1/+2
2004-08-23initial import of nget-0.27recht5-0/+96
Based upon the package provided by Joel CARNAT in PR pkg/26134 nget is a command line nntp file grabber. It automatically pieces together multipart postings for easy retrieval, even substituting parts from multiple servers and newsgroups. Handles disconnects gracefully, resuming after the last part succesfully downloaded. features: * Automatic multi-part post joining * Automatic binary decoding (using uulib) * Caches header data for quick access * Full multi-server support, transparently joining parts from different servers * Full multi-group support, transparently joining parts from multiple newsgroups * Automatic retries on network errors * Resumes after the last part successfully downloaded * Dupe file detection to avoid unneeded downloads * Select what to retrieve based upon a regular expresson (-r), or even a more complex expression (-R) based upon any of the file's subject, author, lines, bytes, # of parts we have, # of parts req, date, age, messageid, and references. * Search for newsgroups based on their names and/or descriptions * Automatic handling of PAR and PAR2 files retrieves only as many recovery files as necessary to repair any missing/damaged files.

ignore the "bindaddress" keyword in "inn.conf". Fix based on a patch supplied by Bob in PR pkg/26164.

2004-06-02Don't try to setuid(geteuid()) in "rnews" under NetBSD which is documentedtron2-1/+19
not to work. This was correct in INN 2.3.x but changed for some reason in INN 2.4.x which broke "rnews".
2004-06-02Update INN package to version 2.4.1. Major changes since version 2.3.x:tron9-171/+104
- builtin IPv6 support - new configuration parser - completely rewriten "send-uucp" which replaces "sendbatch"
2004-05-23Introduce and use three new variables:jschauma1-5/+7
LEAFNODE_DATA_DIR, LEAFNODE_USER and LEAFNODE_GROUP, to be used by leafnode to specify the data dir, the user and the group, defaulting to 'news'. Note: the default is the same as for inn. Pointed out by Georg Schwarz in mail to tech-pkg.
2004-05-23Apply IPv6 patch only if we really want IPv6 support because the patchtron1-7/+10
breaks the build on some IPv4 only platforms (e.g. IRIX). This fixes PR pkg/25671 by Georg Schwarz.
2004-05-22Introduce and use two new variables:jschauma1-17/+19
INN_USER and INN_GROUP, specifying the username and groupname to be used by inn, defaulting to 'news'. Noted by Georg Schwarz in mail to tech-pkg.
