NEW IN VERSION 1.3
- Administrators using OpenPKG 1.3 now can fully support FreeBSD 4.8

Since the previous release a half year ago, the OpenPKG package
repository has again grown by 25%. A subset of 400 packages were
- carefully selected for inclusion into the OpenPKG 1.3 release.
- They are classified into the three categories CORE, BASE and PLUS.
- The former two receive full support on all official platforms
- mentioned earlier and both source and binary packages are available
- for download. Service covers the fixing of portability issues and
- handling the full scope of security tracking for the latest release
- and its immediate predecessor. To achieve this, the OpenPKG team
- participates in the leading security communities.
-
- The released OpenPKG 1.3 packages again include proven versions of
- popular Open Source Unix software like Apache, BIND, Binutils, GCC,
- INN, MySQL, NTP, OpenSSH, PostgreSQL, ProFTPd, Samba, Squid, teTex and
- Vim -- all carefully packaged for easy and safe deployment. The whole
- release has been tuned to work with the latest GNU C/C++ compiler.
- About 40 packages were identified to use syslog(3) and were enabled to
- use either the more flexible OSSP fsl (faking syslog library) or the
- native system logging facility.
-
- Package quality was greatly enhanced by the rigorous application of
- fully automated package input and output checking ("linting") against
- programmatically written down style, syntax and semantics constraints.
- The Run-Command (RC) facility was completely worked off and both
- log file rotation and package upgrade/erase procedures use its new
- capabilities. The essential bootstrapping package was functionally

enhanced, reduced in distribution size, made more robust and its
system requirements were relaxed even further.
