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.

Update to the latest snapshots.

uuid-ossp patch has been outdated with irrelevant changes (for us),
so massage back in.

In head of postgresql, this is handled properly, so eventually the ossp patches

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an update to all supported
version of the database system, including versions 9.3.4, 9.2.8, 9.1.13,
9.0.17, and 8.4.21. This minor release fixes a data corruption issue with
replication and crash recovery in version 9.3, as well as several other minor
issues in all versions.  All users of version 9.3 are urged to update their
installations at the next possible downtime.  Users of older versions should
update at their convenience.

The data corruption issue in PostgreSQL 9.3 affects binary replication
standbys, servers being recovered from point-in-time-recovery backup, and
standalone servers which recover from a system crash. The bug causes
unrecoverable index corruption during recovery due to incorrect replay of row
locking operations.  This can then cause query results to be inconsistent
depending on whether or not an index is used, and eventually lead to primary
key violations and similar issues.  For this reason, users are encouraged to
replace each of their standby databases with a new base backup after applying
the update.

See release notes for more changes.

A change specific to the FreeBSD port:
Modify the contrib/uuid-ossp to actually work (not crashing the backend) by
using the libc implementation of uuid instead of the ossp port. Schemas and
queries will just work. Based on the work of Andrew Gierth. 9.1+ EXTENSION
support added by girgen@.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released an important
update to all supported versions of the PostgreSQL database system,
which includes minor versions 9.3.3, 9.2.7, 9.1.12, 9.0.16, and
8.4.20. This update contains fixes for multiple security issues, as
well as several fixes for replication and data integrity issues.  All
users are urged to update their installations at the earliest
opportunity, especially those using binary replication or running a
high-security application.

This update fixes CVE-2014-0060, in which PostgreSQL did not properly
enforce the WITH ADMIN OPTION permission for ROLE management. Before
this fix, any member of a ROLE was able to grant others access to the
same ROLE regardless if the member was given the WITH ADMIN OPTION
permission. It also fixes multiple privilege escalation issues,
including: CVE-2014-0061, CVE-2014-0062, CVE-2014-0063, CVE-2014-0064,
CVE-2014-0065, and CVE-2014-0066. More information on these issues can
be found on our security page and the security issue detail wiki page.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released a security
update to all current versions of the PostgreSQL database system,
including versions 9.2.4, 9.1.9, 9.0.13, and 8.4.17. This update
fixes a high-exposure security vulnerability in versions 9.0 and
later. All users of the affected versions are strongly urged to apply
the update *immediately*.

A major security issue (for versions 9.x only) fixed in this release,
[CVE-2013-1899](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-1899),
makes it possible for a connection request containing a database name
that begins with "-" to be crafted that can damage or destroy files
within a server's data directory. Anyone with access to the port the
PostgreSQL server listens on can initiate this request. This issue was
discovered by Mitsumasa Kondo and Kyotaro Horiguchi of NTT Open Source
Software Center.

Two lesser security fixes are also included in this release:
[CVE-2013-1900](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-1900),
wherein random numbers generated by contrib/pgcrypto functions may be
easy for another database user to guess (all versions), and
[CVE-2013-1901](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-1901),
which mistakenly allows an unprivileged user to run commands that
could interfere with in-progress backups (for versions 9.x only).

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group today released security updates for all
active branches
of the PostgreSQL database system, including versions 9.1.5, 9.0.9, 8.4.13 and
8.3.20. This
update patches security holes associated with libxml2 and libxslt, similar to
those affecting
other open source projects. All users are urged to update their installations at
the first
available opportunity.

This security release fixes a vulnerability in the built-in XML functionality,
and a vulnerability
in the XSLT functionality supplied by the optional XML2 extension. Both
vulnerabilities allow
reading of arbitrary files by any authenticated database user, and the XSLT
vulnerability
allows writing files as well. The fixes cause limited backwards compatibility
issues.
These issues correspond to the following two vulnerabilities:

CVE-2012-3488: PostgreSQL insecure use of libxslt
CVE-2012-3489: PostgreSQL insecure use of libxml2
This release also contains several fixes to version 9.1, and a smaller number of
fixes to older versions, including:

Updates and corrections to time zone data
Multiple documentation updates and corrections
Add limit on max_wal_senders
Fix dependencies generated during ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX.
Correct behavior of unicode conversions for PL/Python
Fix WITH attached to a nested set operation (UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT).
Fix syslogger so that log_truncate_on_rotation works in the first rotation.
Only allow autovacuum to be auto-canceled by a directly blocked process.
Improve fsync request queue operation
Prevent corner-case core dump in rfree().
Fix Walsender so that it responds correctly to timeouts and deadlocks
Several PL/Perl fixes for encoding-related issues
Make selectivity operators use the correct collation
Prevent unsuitable slaves from being selected for synchronous replication
Make REASSIGN OWNED work on extensions as well
Fix race condition with ENUM comparisons

Users who have already used pg_upgrade should run the database repair
script given on that page on their databases as soon as possible.

Update to versions 9.0.3, 8.4.7, 8.3.14 and 8.2.20.

This update includes a security fix which prevents a buffer overrun in
the contrib module intarray's input function for the query_int type.
This bug is a security risk since the function's return address could
be overwritten by malicious code.

All supported versions of PostgreSQL are impacted. However, the
affected contrib module is optional. Only users who have installed the
intarray module in their database are affected. See the CVE Advisory
at http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-4015

This release includes 63 bugfixes, including:

- Avoid unexpected conversion overflow in planner for distant date values
- Fix assignment to an array slice that is before the existing range
of subscripts
- Fix pg_restore to do the right thing when escaping large objects
- Avoid failures when EXPLAIN tries to display a simple-form CASE expression
- Improved build support for Windows version
- Fix bug in contrib/seg's GiST picksplit algorithm which caused
performance degredation

The 9.0.3 update also contains several fixes for issues with features
introduced or changed in version 9.0:

- Ensure all the received WAL is fsync'd to disk before exiting walreceiver
- Improve performance of walreceiver by avoiding excess fsync activity
- Make ALTER TABLE revalidate uniqueness and exclusion constraints when needed
- Fix EvalPlanQual for UPDATE of an inheritance tree when the tables
are not all alike

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

Welcome PostgreSQL 8.4

After many years of development, PostgreSQL has become feature-complete in many
areas.
This release shows a targeted approach to adding features (e.g., authentication,
monitoring, space reuse), and adds capabilities defined in the later SQL
standards.
The major areas of enhancement are:

Windowing Functions
Common Table Expressions and Recursive Queries
Default and variadic parameters for functions
Parallel Restore
Column Permissions
Per-database locale settings
Improved hash indexes
Improved join performance for EXISTS and NOT EXISTS queries
Easier-to-use Warm Standby
Automatic sizing of the Free Space Map
Visibility Map (greatly reduces vacuum overhead for slowly-changing tables)
Version-aware psql (backslash commands work against older servers)
Support SSL certificates for user authentication
Per-function runtime statistics
Easy editing of functions in psql
New contrib modules: pg_stat_statements, auto_explain, citext, btree_gin
