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.

Security:       CVE-2010-1169
Security:       CVE-2010-1170

The PostgreSQL Project today released minor versions updating all active
branches of the PostgreSQL object-relational database system, including
versions 8.4.4, 8.3.11, 8.2.17, 8.1.21, 8.0.25, and 7.4.29. This release
fixes moderate-risk security issues with PL/perl and PL/tcl, as well as
a data corruption issue with standby databases.  Users of any of these
three features should update their PostgreSQL installations immediately.

The PL/perl security fix closes a security hole in PL/perl
procedures which could allow privilege escalation on the host system,
caused by a flaw in Safe.pm; see CVE-2010-1169 and CVE-2010-1447 for
details.  A second patch prevents PL/tcl's pltcl_modules table from
being subverted in order to run arbitrary Tcl scripts; see
CVE-2010-1170.  These issues only affect users who have enabled either
of these two stored procedure languages.

Also corrected is use of the command ALTER TABLE SET TABLESPACE, which
previously could cause data corruption on Warm Standby database slaves.
This issue affects only version 8.4.

There are also 21 other bug fixes in this release, some of which apply
only to version 8.4, and a few of which are specifically for Windows.
While these are generally fixes for minor issues, among the changes are:

     * Fix for a combinational crash condition
     * Prevent normal users from resetting some GUCs in
       their own role definitions
     * Correctly apply constraint exclusion in UPDATE and DELETE queries
     * Minor fixes for WAL archiving
     * Update timezone data for 12 zones

See the release notes for a full list of changes with details.

Update PostgreSQL to latest versions.

The PostgreSQL Project today released minor versions updating all active
branches of the PostgreSQL object-relational database system, including
versions 8.3.7, 8.2.13, 8.1.17, 8.0.21 and 7.4.25. This release fixes a denial
of service issue with encoding conversion, and all users should update their
installations at the next reasonable opportunity.

There are 12 other minor fixes contained in these update releases, including
fixes for xpath() functions in version 8.3. See the release notes for full
details.

Update PostgreSQL to latest versions.

URL: http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.1055

The PostgreSQL Project today released
updates to all active branches of the
PostgreSQL object-relational database
system, including versions 8.3.6,
8.2.12, 8.1.16, 8.0.20 and 7.4.24. These
updates include two serious fixes, for
autovacuum crashes in version 8.1 and
GiST indexing data loss in 8.3, and
those two versions should be updated as
soon as possible.

These update releases also include
patches for several low-risk security
holes, as well as up to 17 other minor
fixes, depending on your major version
of PostgreSQL. Included as well are
Daylight Savings Time changes for Nepal,
Switzerland and Cuba. See the release
notes for full details.

The first serious issue affects users
who are using version 8.1 with
Autovacuum, which will fail when XID
rollover is required. The second serious
issue can cause data loss when CLUSTER
is used with GiST indexes (such as full
text indexes) on version 8.3. Both
issues are fixed in these releases.

Note that the GiST problem mentioned does not apply to users of
the FreeBSD port, since the previous version of PostgreSQL never
reached the ports tree, due to the freeze of the tree pending the
FreeBSD 7.1 update.

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.

 As always, application of a minor release does not require a dump and
 reload of the database.

 The frequency of security fixes recently is a result of increased
 scrutiny of the PostgreSQL code by government agencies and
 security-conscious companies.  Rapid turnaround on security patches
 is key to keeping PostgreSQL the most secure SQL database.  Your work
 and vigilance in applying the latest security updates ensures that
 there will never be a PostgreSQL "worm".

Update PostgreSQL with, amongst other things, two security fixes:

  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]

  A vulnerability involving changing the data type of a table column
  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-2007-0556]

There is no point in setting mode of rc.d file to be 554, set it to 555.
Otherwise there could be problems with the service not starting up in the
case when owner of the file has been changed.

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.

Update postgresql with latest patch release.

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
8.0 branches on all platforms.

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

Handle a change in rc.subr. nowadays, "faststart" is used instead of
"start" when booting, since there's no need waste time checking for
running processes when the OS is starting up.

Bumping portrevision.

Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order.  The code present
in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.

Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.

Preliminary documentation can be found at:
        http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt

which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.

Light blue touch-paper.  Run.

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).

Welcome to PostgreSQL 8.1.

The new release includes performance improvements and advanced SQL
features which will support bigger data warehouses, higher-volume
transaction processing, and more complex distributed enterprise
software.

Major new features in this release include:

      Roles:
           PostgreSQL now supports database roles, which simplify the
           management of large numbers of users with complex
           overlapping database rights.

      IN/OUT Parameters:
           PostgreSQL functions now support IN, OUT and INOUT
           parameters, which substantially improves support of complex
           business logic for J2EE and .NET applications.

      Two-Phase Commit (2PC):
           Long in demand for WAN applications and heterogeneous data
           centers using PostgreSQL, this feature allows
           ACID-compliant transactions across widely separated
           servers.

Some Performance Enhancements found in this release include:

      Improved Multiprocessor (SMP) Performance:
           The buffer manager for 8.1 has been enhanced to scale almost
           linearly with the number of processors, leading to significant
           performance gains on 8-way, 16-way, dual-core, and multi-core
           CPU servers.

      Bitmap Scan:
           Indexes will be dynamically converted to bitmaps in memory when
           appropriate, giving up to twenty times faster index performance
           on complex queries against very large tables.

      Table Partitioning:
           The query planner is now able to avoid scanning whole sections
           of a large table using a technique known as Constraint
           Exclusion.

       Shared Row Locking:
           PostgreSQL's "better than row-level locking" now supports even
           higher levels of concurrency through the addition of shared
           row locks for foreign keys.
