For now MySQL 6.x development has been ceased for now [1] and new
development happens on 5.5 series.  You may need to consult their
website to get a more useful big picture stuff.

 How about adding boost_build as an option to devel/boost-all?


Nice idea. Since I'm gaining some experience with the Boost.Build this would
be possible. The only remaining thing is to discuss this with the current
maintainer of boost_build (it's not me).

security/openssl BROKEN, DEPRECATED, and EXPIRED?

2010-01-13 Thread Trix Farrar
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?201001121543.o0CFhqWv076278

What happened?  I haven't been able to find any discussion about this
on either freebsd-ports, freebsd-ports-bugs, or freebsd-security.
There doesn't seem to be a PR, either.

Am I just being overly sensitive or does this present a POLA problem?
My ports tree is up to date, but OpenSSL can't be upgraded, and
neither can anything that depends on it.  

If a port is going to be deprecated, isn't it common to recommend a
replacement?  If 0.9.8l_1 is so horribly broken, would it have been
better to drop back to the 'last known good' version? I haven't had a
problem with 0.9.8l, that I know of.

   MySql-6.* is no longer in the ports tree.  Things depend on it.
   Is there information on what happened and what the alternatives  are?

I have MySQL-6 installed. I have several applications that depend on it.
What would be the recommended method to replace it with the latest
stable release of MySQL? I see that 'portupgrade' offers quite a few
options. Would one of them work? I really do not want to have to rebuild
all of my applications that depend on MySQL-6 if possible.

Thank you!

Request.

Attached is a patch against security/openssh-portable Makefile to remove 
FreeBSD version and openssl version from its version reply string.


This changes it from its default reply to: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.2p1

I would rather leave a prober guessing rather than giving the information 
he needs to analyze a large number of hosts quickly.

 My ports tree is up to date, but OpenSSL can't be upgraded, and
 neither can anything that depends on it.  

If you have a look at the last commit for Mk/bsd.openssl.mk, you'll see the 
libcrypto versions have been bumped, too. 8.0-RELEASE has 0.9.8k in base, 
but this .mk looks for libcrypto.so.7 and the version conditional has been 
dropped (not that it would have made any difference set to 800105) so 
dropping back to the version in the base system is going to be no help 
either. Even HEAD is still on 0.9.8k (libcrypto.so.6).

http://bit.ly/7h5PpU (CVSweb)

I suspect that there's an update on its way, although that doesn't help the 
rest of us using ports in the meantime. For now, I'd personally recommend 
to use a date=2010.01.12.15.42.00 definition in your ports supfile until 
all of this shakes out.

As for POLA, I can think of nothing more astonishing than finding that my 
systems cannot, under any circumstances, meet the requirements of 
bsd.openssl.mk, thus breaking nearly everything important. That sort of 
snuck up on me without warning...

This is the output of the add VersionAddendum in the current ports openssh

 Probably you want VersionAddendum option in sshd_config?
 
 
 No.
 
 To my understanding and my last tests VersionAddendum and is only a 
 Addendum or did not work which spurred me to patch up the Makefile in the 
 first place.

I put VersionAddendum into sshd_config (with nothing trailing behind it),
and it works as expected:
telnet foo 22
Trying 192.168.0.1...
Connected to foo

I'm using OpenSSH from base, but it should be the same with ports.

That's correct as far as I have seen so far. Personally I think that since 
openssh-portable is in ports why worry about a VersionAddendum at all and 
just patch it with the patch I submitted. Seems like a more secure option 
but that's only me.

Nothing is evident here. The port was deprecated because of unfixed

Re: latest MySql?

 On Wed, 13 Jan 2010 02:09:24 -0500 Robert Huff roberth...@rcn.com 
articulated:
  MySql-6.* is no longer in the ports tree.  Things depend on it.
  Is there information on what happened and what the alternatives  are?
 
 I have MySQL-6 installed. I have several applications that depend on it.
 What would be the recommended method to replace it with the latest
 stable release of MySQL? I see that 'portupgrade' offers quite a few
 options. Would one of them work? I really do not want to have to rebuild
 all of my applications that depend on MySQL-6 if possible.
 
 Thank you!
 

One of the disadvantages of being an earlier adopter and not waiting for the 
tribe to cross the canyon!!

MySQL-6 was a development version which was not ready for production servers. 
Given the development issues I am not surprised it has been dropped for the 
time being.
I think you may need to adapt any code that does not work on 5.5 to meet your 
needs.

Re: security/openssl BROKEN, DEPRECATED, and EXPIRED?

2010-01-13 Thread b. f.
I'd like to echo some of the others regarding the recent changes in
security/openssl:  since this port is used by a large number of
people, it would be better to announce major changes in advance, and
to test more carefully before committing.

The reverted deprecation leaves me a bit puzzled.  What were the
problems that prompted the comment that the port had unfixed
vulnerabilities?  If that meant that flawed renegotiation could be
enabled via run-time flags, and this was thought to be unacceptable,
why not patch the port to disable it, as in the base system openssl,
rather than suddenly attempting to remove the port?  If it was
something else, what was it, and what, if anything, is going to be
done about it?  Can we expect an update to 1.0.x, and the resurrection
of SCTP support, after the renegotiation problem is settled?  Or is a
removal of the port still planned?  If that is the case, what do those
who want to remove the port propose as a replacement?

I note that there are still a few obvious minor flaws after the most
recent commits, including what looks like an unintentional inversion
of the logic surrounding the SSE2 option.  I'm attaching a suggested
patch.

b.

rdiff-backup-1.2.8 python2.5.4 : OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum

2010-01-13 Thread Michel Le Cocq
I all.

I run rdiff-backup on my backup server:
- FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE AMD64
- rdiff-backup-1.2.8,1
- python25-2.5.4_3
- be pro quad
- 4G Ram

I try to rdiff a folder on a nfs ro mounted volume to an other volume.

I obtain this error : OverflowError: signed integer is greater than
maximum

I have the same problem as Brad Beyenhof see here :
http://www.mail-archive.com/rdiff-backup-us...@nongnu.org/msg03794.html

I know it's a know problem due to a bug in Python. And have to upgrad
Python to 2.5.4 or 2.6.1.

But I'm on python25-2.5.4_3 !!! and rdiff need python25 to run so I
can't remove it for python26...

What can I do to obtain my full backup ?

Thanks

HEADS UP: utmp.h gone. All welcome utmpx.h.

2010-01-13 Thread Ed Schouten
Hello everyone,

I just made various commits to FreeBSD HEAD to remove our old user
accounting database interface (see utmp(5)) and replace it by the POSIX
standardized utmpx interface (see getutxent(3)). This means we just got
rid of some annoyances that are as old as the FreeBSD project itself:

- Hostnames were originally restricted to 16 bytes, which is way too
  short for your average hostname generated by your ISP, but also for
  IPv6 addresses, which are at most 32 + 7 = 39 characters.

- No support for login sessions not related to TTYs, like ppp(8),
  ftpd(8) sessions.

- No support for multiple login sessions on one TTY, for example
  generated by login(1).

I was not able to give us a smooth transition from utmp towards utmpx,
simply because our utmp implementation offered almost no utility
functions, which means all consumers modify the database files
themselves. This means you should probably recompile any applications
you're interested in that uses the user accounting database. I realize
this may be quite uncomfortable, but we can't always win.

[ This information is mainly for port maintainers: ]

I've noticed there is some breakage in ports, but it shouldn't be too
serious. I've seen cases where an application includes utmp.h, even
though it doesn't use anything provided by that header. In other cases
they used fields like UT_NAMESIZE to derive the maximum user name length
supported by the system, which is clearly not what this definition was
intended for. I've incremented __FreeBSD_version to 97 to identify
the import of utmpx. In case a certain port breaks badly, let me know
and I'm willing to take a look at it.

Be sure to give it a try and report any issues. Thanks!

Re: UIDs question

2010-01-13 Thread Jason

On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 12:39:41PM -0800, Jason thus spake:


I was wondering if there is a way to have the port install the user using
the native USERS or GROUPS directives in the do-install phase with the
INSTALL macros, or if there is a more suggested, or conventional, way of
doing this operation.


Would you mind putting the files somewhere and showing us the error
log? I am aware of one caveat at the moment, which is that you can't
use users/groups created with USERS/GROUPS in pkg-plist. Every typical
use case with directives contained in Makefile should be fine AFAIK.
