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.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group today released security updates for all

9.0.8, 8.4.12 and 8.3.19.

Users of the crypt(text, text) function with DES encryption in the optional
pg_crypto module should upgrade their installations immediately, if you have'nt
already updated since the port was patched on May 30.  All other database
administrators are urged to upgrade your version of PostgreSQL at the
next scheduled downtime.

Update PostgreSQL to 9.0.4, 8.4.8, 8.3.15 and 8.2.21.

This update contains a critical fix to the pg_upgrade utility
which prevents significant downtime issues. Do not use
pg_upgrade without installing this update first.

The issue with pg_upgrade and the fix are detailed on the PostgreSQL
wiki: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/20110408pg_upgrade_fix
Users who have already used pg_upgrade should run the database repair
script given on that page on their databases as soon as possible.

See the release notes for each version at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release.html for a full
list of changes with details.

Allow the username of the postgresql user to configurable for 8.4 and 9.0.
Largely inspired by the work of Jason Helfman [153668, 153136].

Change PGUSER knob to PG_USER not to clash with PGUSER environment.

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.

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.
