Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

FInally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combinatio for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Description:
PostgreSQL is a sophisticated Object-Relational DBMS, supporting almost all SQL constructs, including subselects, transactions, and user-defined types and functions. It is the most advanced open-source database available anywhere. Commercial Support is also available. The original Postgres code was the effort of many graduate students, undergraduate students, and staff programmers working under the direction of Professor Michael Stonebraker at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1995, Andrew Yu and Jolly Chen took on the task of converting the DBMS query language to SQL and created a new database system which came to known as Postgres95. Many others contributed to the porting, testing, debugging and enhancement of the Postgres95 code. As the code improved, and 1995 faded into memory, PostgreSQL was born. PostgreSQL development is presently being performed by a team of Internet developers who are now responsible for all current and future development. The development team coordinator is Marc G. Fournier (scrappy@PostgreSQL.ORG). Support is available from the PostgreSQL developer/user community through the support mailing list (questions@PostgreSQL.ORG). PostgreSQL is free and the complete source is available. WWW: http://www.postgresql.org/

Fix a few "bad example" problems in the rc.d scripts that have been
propogated by copy and paste.

1. Primarily the "empty variable" default assignment, which is mostly
${name}_flags="", but fix a few others as well.
2. Where they are not already documented, add the existence of the _flags
(or other deleted empties) option to the comments, and in some cases add
comments from scratch.
3. Replace things that look like:
prefix=%%PREFIX%%
command=${prefix}/sbin/foo
to just use %%PREFIX%%. In many cases the $prefix variable is only used
once, and in some cases it is not used at all.
4. In a few cases remove ${name}_flags from command_args
5. Remove a long-stale comment about putting the port's rc.d script in
/etc/rc.d (which is no longer necessary).

No PORTREVISION bumps because all of these changes are noops.

Update PostgreSQL to 7.3.19, 7.4.17, 8.0.13, 8.1.9 and 8.2.4 respectively:

 The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released updated versions
 for PostgreSQL 8.2 and all back versions to patch a privilege
 escalation exploit in SECURITY DEFINER functions.  All users of this
 feature are urged to update to the latest minor version and follow
 instructions on securing these functions as soon as possible.  This
 minor release also contains other fixes, so all users should plan to
 deploy it.

 Once you have updated, additional steps are required to secure your
 database against the exploit.  Please read the release notes at
 http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/release.html and the
 TechDocs article at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.77 on how
 to lock down your security definer functions, if you use them.

Update PostgreSQL with, amongst other things, a security fix:

  A vulnerability allows suppressing the normal checks that a SQL
  function returns the data type it's declared to do. These errors can
  easily be exploited to cause a backend crash, and in principle might
  be used to read database content that the user should not be able to
  access. [CVE-2007-0555]

installed by the respective postgresql*-server port (previously they
where installed with the client). If you update the client, you should
also update the server to make sure you are not left without the
server-side tools. Do something like:

Update all PostgreSQL to fix a security flaw

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group today released versions 8.1.4, 8.0.8,
7.4.13 and 7.3.15. This is an urgent update to close a security hole which
can permit a SQL injection attack on some applications running PostgreSQL.

Users are urged to apply the update as soon as reasonably possible. Since the
update affects client functionality, most driver projects will be updating
this week as well.

Because the security issue involved is complex, we have added a section in
Techdocs to explain it: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/techdocs.52. Please
read this first before applying the updates.

Also, fix rc_subr startup problems on FreeBSD-7.x.

Remove the FreeBSD KEYWORD from all rc.d scripts where it appears.
We have not checked for this KEYWORD for a long time now, so this

this point is mostly for pedantic reasons, and partly to avoid
perpetuating this anachronism by copy and paste to future scripts.

A critical fix repairs an error in ReadBuffer that can cause data loss
due to overwriting recently-added pages.  This applies to the 8.1 and

Note that this update might require a reindex of textual columns under
certain conditions; please see UPDATING.

Other fixes included are:
-- Character string locale comparison bug. This may require a REINDEX
    on text column indexes in some locales, such as Hungarian.
-- Prevent accidental changes of locale by plperl
-- Two fixes for Japanese encodings
-- Two fixes for COPY CSV
-- Fixes for functions returning RECORD
-- Fixes to autovacuum, dblink and pgcrypto

Let postgresql (libpq.so) only link with the Kerberos implementations
installed from ports. The base heimdal distribution installs libraries
that have no depenency information. While this is quite correct, it
means that each library that links with libpq.so must also know if
libpq.so is linked with libkrb.so et al. Problem is, there's no good
way to get this information (pg_config has a --libs option starting at
version 8.1) and all ports using postgresql must be changed to make it
possible to link with a libpq.so that was configured to use the
Kerberos implementation installed in /usr by default. Hence, we
require one of the ports (heimdal or krb5) if postgresql is to be
linked with Kerberos. At least for now, until we can fix this in some
better way.

Also, if MIT Kerberos (security/krb5) is installed, users should
ideally remove the base heimdal installation so linkers will not pick
it up in preference to the krb5 libs (base heimdal has higher version
numbers than krb5 port).

       This fixes a long-standing problem that could cause crashes in very
       rare circumstances.

Update PostgreSQL to latest versions.  For details on the fixes,
please see the HISTORY file included in the Release, but a summary
consists of:

      * Change encoding function signature to prevent misuse
      * Change "contrib/tsearch2" to avoid unsafe use of INTERNAL function
        results
      * Repair race condition between relation extension and VACUUM
        This could theoretically have caused loss of a page's worth of
        freshly-inserted data, although the scenario seems of very low
        probability. There are no known cases of it having caused more than
        an Assert failure.

Modify 8.0's startup script to simulate a full login (su -l) [1]. Also
add support to select login class for running postgresql [2].

The new startup script, using rc.subr, is now installed for all
versions of postgresql. Bump portrevisions, since startup script is
modified.

Fixing problems with the recent security patch: When bison was not
installed, the patched gram.y file would not be used and the security
patch would be a no-op. Also, I've had reports of compilation errors
related to bison.

Since checking for the correct version of bison is hard and error
prone, I'm doing what the postgresql distribution does - patching the
yacc:ed .c file to get rid of the building dependency.

Bumping portrevision of -server.

Fix security alert using a patch from PostgreSQL's CVS repository:

  Prevent overrunning a heap-allocated buffer if more than 1024
  parameters to a refcursor declaration are specified. This is a
  minimally-invasive fix for the buffer overrun.

Define LATEST_LINK to avoid package name clashes between the different
branches of PostgreSQL. [1] (Since postgresql-tcltk is hardwired to
branch 7.4, keep its LATEST_LINK to a generic value.)

Set UNIQUENAME and let it be the same for server & client, so each
branch's ports will share the same options file. This adds some no-op
knobs to the -client port, but IMO it is better this way.

Add space inside paranthesis in OSVERSION conditional to work around

In order to address a potential security hole recently identified with
the "LOAD" option, the PostgreSQL Global Development Group is
announcing the release of new versions of PostgreSQL.

Update to 7.3.9, 7.4.7 & 8.0.1.

Take the opportunity to reset PORTREVISION of slave ports.

Back out name change of startup script. The new script uses rc.subr(8),
and as such also uses rcorder(8). But, rcorder does not exist in FreeBSD
4.x. Hence rename the script it back to the top of the directory
list. [1]

The periodic script should of course be executable. [2]

Split the postgresql ports into a server and a client part. The
following knobs can be used by ports depending on PostgreSQL:

# USE_PGSQL     - Add PostgreSQL client dependency.
#                 If no version is given (by the maintainer via the port or
#                 by the user via defined variable), try to find the
#                 currently installed version.  Fall back to default if
#                 necessary (PostgreSQL-7.4 = 74).
# DEFAULT_PGSQL_VER
#               - PostgreSQL default version. Can be overridden within a port.
#                 Default: 74.
# WANT_PGSQL_VER
#               - Maintainer can set an arbitrary version of PostgreSQL by
#                 using it.
# BROKEN_WITH_PGSQL

PR ports/75344 - This needs testing and an probably experimental
build, so it will not be out the door before the ports freeze.
Meanwhile, modify BROKEN text to something more informative.

Another step along the road to the postgresql new world order.

Note that none of these ports are (yet) hooked into the tree,
and will not compile unless you set a specific environmental
variable.  This should be warning enough to leave well alone
for now :)
