Fedora Project

  • Updated proftpd in Rawhide to prevent spurious log messages at session end like these (upstream bug #3945):

  • Jun 15 13:53:00 goalkeeper proftpd[20063]: goalkeeper.intra.city-fan.org
    (zion.city-fan.org[2001:470:9279::2]) - ROOT PRIVS: unable to setegid():
    Operation not permitted

    (zion.city-fan.org[2001:470:9279::2]) - FTP session closed.
  • Updated proftpd in F-17, F-18 and F-19 to 1.3.4d as per the Rawhide version

Local Packages

  • Updated dovecot to 2.2.3:

    • LDA/LMTP: if new mail delivery first fails with "temporary failure", tempfail the whole delivery instead of falling back to delivering the mail to INBOX

    • doc/solr-schema.xml was updated to Solr v4.x format; also, the default analyzers were changed, hopefully for the better (note that the schema can't be changed for existing Solr indexes without rebuilding everything)

    • Solr plugin does only soft commits from now on; you'll need a cronjob to send a hard commit command to it every few minutes
    • Added %N modifier for variables as %H-like "new hash"

    • sdbox, mdbox: support POP3 message order field (for migrations)

    • Added mailbox { driver } to specify a different mail storage format for the mailbox than generally used within the namespace

    • Added initial lib-sasl library for client side SASL support; it currently supports only PLAIN, LOGIN and plugin, and is used currently by IMAP and POP3 proxying when authenticating to the remote server

    • IMAP: if subject contained only whitespace, Dovecot returned an ENVELOPE reply with a huge literal value, effectively causing the IMAP client to wait for more data forever

    • IMAP: various URLAUTH fixes

    • imapc: various bugfixes and improvements

    • pop3c: various fixes to make it work in dsync (without imapc)

    • dsync: fixes to syncing subscriptions and fixes to syncing mailbox renames

  • Updated perl-SQL-Statement to 1.405:

    • INSERT now expands incomplete rows

  • Updated perl-Text-CSV_XS to 1.01:

  • Updated proftpd to address upstream bug #3945 as per the Fedora version
