The unstable catalog was getting very frequent updates directly from package maintainers. The dublin catalog was periodically synchronized from the unstable catalog, until the OpenSSL update came along. The library update turned out to be non-trivial, and resulted in the dublin catalog freeze. We have the capacity to rebuilt packages for the dublin catalog, but most of the new work goes towards new packages. We’ve created a new catalog called ‘kiel’. It is a snapshot of the unstable catalog, featuring OpenSSL 1.0.0 and other updates. If you want OpenSSL 1.0.0, this is the catalog you should use. It will kept getting periodic updates from unstable, the way the dublin catalog used to. You need to configure pkgutil to point to the release name. We’ve also created the next catalog, called ‘bratislava’, which is currently only a placeholder for some experiments we’re about to </pre> Maciej (Matchek) Bliziński 2012-11-24T11:39:49 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.solaris.opencsw.announce/30 <pre>Hello OpenCSW users, After a break, we have started pushing new packages to the mirrors again. The release process is now automated, allowing frequent releases to the unstable catalog. Even though the break in pushing packages to the mirrors has been on hold for about two months, the work on packages has been continuing in the development catalogs. The main change is that we created a new signing key and started to push the new packages to the official mirrors. There is a couple cool updates in the pipeline, including gcc-4.6, php-5 and apache-2.2. They are available in the unstable catalog and getting more testing before they get promoted to testing. To learn what 'unstable', and 'testing' mean, please read on. There has been a change to the catalog layout. Previously, the catalogs were laid out as follows: - current contained all the new releases - unstable was a backward-compatible symlink to current - stable was an old, dead release The new layout is as follows: - dublin is the named release w</pre> Maciej (Matchek) Bliziński 2011-09-20T08:42:37 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.solaris.opencsw.announce/29 <pre>Hi All, As part of the new release process, we have installed a new gpg key. Catalogs are already being signed with the new key. You can find the public half on our website[1] or grab it with gpg --recv-key. There is also a package that can deliver the key which is named CSWcswpki. The key id is 9306CC77.

The idea has been written up[1], then voted on and accepted[2]. At about the same time, the package release manager has unfortunately retired from the project[3]. You might have noticed the pause in package releases that started about a week and a half ago. To respond to the new situation, project members are working hard on the accelerated transition to the new release process. Most of the elements of the new system are already in place; current efforts focus on catalog signing and testing of the system as a whole. Meanwhile, work on packages is going on as usual. All upgraded packages are currently lining up for release, you can expect a larger number of updates when the new process goes live. We'll keep you posted. --Maciej Bliziński, The OpenCSW team [1] http://wiki.opencsw.org/automated-release-proposal [2] http://www.ope</pre> Maciej Bliziński 2011-07-15T08:48:16 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.solaris.opencsw.announce/27 <pre> Hi All, A quick note about some changes in the apache2 updates... If you don't have CSWapache2 installed, you'll want to install it. It now contains the actual files (binaries, config, etc) and the smf integration. As it was possible to have a working apache2 install without CSWapache2 previously[1], this is something you'll want to pay attention to. Thanks -Ben [1] It's still possible to get a non-working install due to external dependencies, but bugs have been filed against the apprporiate packages. -- Ben Walton Systems Programmer - CHASS University of Toronto C:416.407.5610 | W:416.978.4302 </pre> Ben Walton 2011-04-07T13:21:35 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.solaris.opencsw.announce/26 <pre>Dear OpenCSW users, The University of Applied Sciences in Biel (Switzerland) [1] hosted and provided the bandwidth for the web and mail server of the OpenCSW project since the beginnings. Unfortunately, the university cannot sponsor the OpenCSW project any longer and we were forced to look for a new solution. Solnet [2], an ISP based in Solothurn (Switzerland), is so kind and is going to sponsor hosting and internet connectivity for the OpenCSW project. The mail and web server will be moved to their data center on Monday, the 28th February 2010. Following services will be not available on Monday 28th February, from 9:00 UTC till 14:00 UTC: - The project website and bug tracker on www.opencsw.org - Mailing lists [1] http://www.hti.bfh.ch/ [2] http://www.solnet.ch/ Thanks for your patience, Ihsan Dogan </pre> İhsan Doğan 2011-02-27T10:59:20 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.solaris.opencsw.announce/25 <pre> Hello OpenCSW Users, Last week, a new board was elected by the OpenCSW membership. The results of this election saw Ihsan Dogan, Maciej Blizinski and myself elected. After some discussion, the board roles have been assigned as follows: President: Ben Walton Treasurer: Ihsan Dogan Secretary: Maciej Blizinski We are all excited about this new chapter in OpenCSW and look forward to serving both the user and maintainer communities.

It has been proposed that we raise the maximum length limit on our software names, to be the full length supported by Solaris 9 and 10. This means that PKG names would be allowed to be 32 chars long. which means catalog names, aka "software names", could be up to 29 chars long (To match the PKG name, minus the leading "CSW") While we believe our internal software, and also utilities such as pkg-get and pkgutil, can be easily modified, we wanted to give the user community notice in advance, so that there is opportunity for feedback, if this somehow adversely affects anyone. If this is the case for you, please let us know. The simplest method is probably to email the 'users' list. However, if you wish, you may alternatively email me, or the OpenCSW board list. (board &lt; at &gt; ....)

This means that some programs that use libraries under /opt/csw/X11/lib may get broken by updates over the following weeks. We are planning to remigrate X11 support to primarily use Sun X11 libraries, which means refocusing our efforts on libraries directly under /opt/csw/lib. We apologise for any difficulties this may cause you. In extreme cases, we remind you that there ARE older versions of packages kept at http://csw.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/oldpkgs/ , amoung other places, if you find yourself in need of an older package in an emergency. Thank you for your patience. Please know that we are working hard for the end result of a more up to date, and also better performing, X11 experience for you, our users :-) </pre> Philip Brown 2010-05-29T23:40:05 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.solaris.opencsw.announce/19 <pre>Dear users, we are currently working on rtorrent which requires an updated libsigc+ +. There have been three packages in the past: libsigc++ CSWsigc++ contained 1.2.5 libsigc++_rt CSWlibsigc++rt contained 2.2.3 libsigc++_devel CSWlibsigc++devel contained 2.2.3 To clean this up there have been the following changes: - Remove libsigc++rt as libraries usually don't have runtime-packages - Update libsigc++ to 2.2.7 and change the package name to CSWlibsigc++. - Make the new package CSWlibsigc++ incompatible to the existing CSWsigc++ - Update libsigc++_devel to 2.2.7 Additionally, there have been a number of libraries which depended on the previous packages, but which were not used from other packages within the CSW distribution. These packages have been removed from the catalog and may be re-added if they will be needed again: - CSWgtkmm2 - CSWgtkmmrt - CSWglibmmrt - CSWglibmmdevel Best regards -- Dago </pre> Dagobert Michelsen 2010-05-28T17:30:12 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.solaris.opencsw.announce/18 <pre>After a long project we have released Perl 5.10.1.

As it is now long past EOSL for Solaris 8 we have decided to raise the general build level to Solaris 9. The Solaris 8 catalog will stay in place as it is, but there will be no new packages. If you need updated packages for Solaris 8 you are free to try compiling them yourself on Solaris 8 from the build recipes at http://gar.opencsw.org Solaris 9 will be supported by OpenCSW until end of phase 1 support, which is the 30-Oct-2011 as documented at http://www.sun.com/service/eosl/eosl_solaris.html?cid=e9294 Most certainly OpenCSW support will be terminatet at this date, so even though we supported Solaris 8 longer than announced this may not be the case for Solaris 9.

That is: * CSWcurlrt - Old catalog name: curlrt - New catalog name: curl_rt * CSWcurldevel - Old catalog name: curldevel - New catalog name: curl_devel Please note that this only affects new installation with pkg-get and pkgutil as the package name used for dependencies is not affected. Kind regards -- Dagobert </pre> Dagobert Michelsen 2010-01-19T19:28:28 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.solaris.opencsw.announce/15 <pre>Dear users, A security vulnerability has been recently found in the TLS and SSL protocol part related to the handling of session renegotiation [1]. This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject arbitrary content at the beginning of a TLS/SSL connection within a Man-in-the-middle attack. This problem is caused by a design flaw in the TLS/SSL protocol and is difficult to fix in a clean and backward compatible way. As a result the new openssl release (0.9.8l) which fixes this bug simply completely disables renegotiation. This new package will hit csw unstable mirror very soon. This modification should not have any impact for most setups except for Apache https configurations which use certificate client verification (SSLVerifyClient) or specify a new ssl cipher list (SSLCipherSuite) in a directory or location context. If that's your case, you should try to use these instructions on the server or virtual host level, or avoid upgrading to openssl 0.9.8l [2], but you will stay vulnerable in the latter.

Today on updated esound package 0.2.41,REV=2009.11.10 was released which fixes this issue and also relocated the esd.conf conforming to the sparseroot-friendly new standardlocation /etc/opt/csw/esd.conf. If you have not modified your esd.conf there is no need for manual intervention. If you have modified your esd.conf please issue the following steps to make sure your changes are kept: cp /opt/csw/etc/esd.conf /opt/csw/etc/esd.conf.save pkgrm CSWesound mv /opt/csw/etc/esd.conf.save /opt/csw/etc/esd.conf pkg-get -i esound Sorry for the inconvenience -- Dago </pre> Dagobert Michelsen 2009-11-12T19:06:50 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.solaris.opencsw.announce/13 <pre>Graphviz is a collection of tools for the layout of graphs of nodes and edges.
