Monday 4th July 2016

Fedora Project

    • Restore PerlIO layer cloning on STDERR and STDOUT

Local Packages

  • Updated dovecot to 2.2.25:

    • lmtp: Start tracking lmtp_user_concurrency_limit and reject already at RCPT TO stage, which avoids MTA unnecessarily completing DATA only to get an error

    • doveadm: Previously, only mail settings were read from protocol doveadm { .. } section: now, all settings are

    • quota: Added quota_over_flag_lazy_check setting, which avoids checking quota_over_flag always at startup; instead, it's checked only when quota is being read for some other purpose

    • auth: Added a new auth policy service: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Policy

    • auth: Added PBKDF2 password scheme

    • auth: Added %{auth_user}, %{auth_username} and %{auth_domain}

    • auth: Added ":remove" suffix to extra field names to remove them

    • auth: Added "delay_until=<timestamp>[+<max random secs>]" passdb extra field; the auth will wait until <timestamp> and optionally some randomness and then return success

    • Performance improvements for handling large mailboxes
    • Added lib-dcrypt API for providing cryptographic functions

    • doveadm user and auth cache flush are now available via doveadm-server

    • doveadm service stop <services> will stop specified services while leaving the rest of Dovecot running

    • Quota optimization: Avoid reading mail sizes for backends that don't need them (count, fs, dirsize)

    • Added mailbox { autoexpunge_max_mails=<n> } setting

    • Added welcome plugin: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Welcome

    • fts: Added fts_autoindex_exclude setting

    • v2.2.24's MIME parser was assert-crashing on mails having truncated MIME headers
    • auth: With multiple userdbs the final success/failure result wasn't always correct: the last userdb's result was always used

    • doveadm backup was sometimes deleting entire mailboxes unnecessarily

    • doveadm: Command -parameters weren't being sent to doveadm-server

    • If dovecot.index read failed e.g. because mmap() reached VSZ limit, an empty index could have been opened instead, corrupting the mailbox state

    • lazy-expunge: Fixed a crash when copying failed, plus various other fixes

    • fts-lucene: Fixed crash on index rescan

    • auth_stats=yes produced broken output

    • dict-ldap: Various fixes

    • dict-sql: NULL values crashed; now they're treated as "not found"

  • I had to add a couple of fixes from upstream to get it to build on older distributions

  • Updated perl-MCE to 1.802 as per the Fedora version

    • Added support for download_url endpoint

    • Default domain set by providing 'version' - makes it easy to work with v1

    • Added missing 'download_url' attribute to file/module result objects

  • Updated perl-YAML to 1.17 in Rawhide:

    • Use Mo 0.40

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-DateTime to 1.34 as per the Fedora version

Local Packages

  • Updated python-twisted to 16.3.0 (see NEWS for details)

Friday 8th July 2016

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-GDGraph to 1.53 in Rawhide:

    • Fix 'Illegal division by zero' when x_min_value and x_max_value are defined and x_tick_number set to 'auto' (CPAN RT#73185, GH#12)

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 2.031 in Rawhide:

    • Utils::CERT_create - don't add given extensions again if they were already added; Firefox croaks with sec_error_extension_value_invalid if (specific?) extensions are given twice

    • Assume that Net::SSLeay::P_PKCS12_load_file will return the CA certificates with the reverse order as in the PKCS12 file, because that's what it does

    • Support for creating ECC keys in Utils once supported by Net::SSLeay

    • Remove internal sub session_cache and access cache directly (faster)

  • Updated perl-YAML-LibYAML to 0.63 in Rawhide:

    • Fix memory leaks (GH#48)

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 2.031 as per the fedora version

  • Updated perl-Net-FTPSSL to 0.33:

    • Behaviour change: Since many OpenSSL libraries are tightening their security, I'm adding a new option to preserve backwards compatibility:
      • By default this module now reuses the context of the command channel when opening a data channel
      • If you need to revert back to the previous default of not reusing the context for data channels, you must now use option "DisableContext => 1" to do so; hopefully the need for this option will be rare

      • See the POD for more details
    • Behaviour change: Added support for SNI in the SSL handshake
    • Changed logic on how to detect if a default "SSL_verify_mode" value needed to be set to VERIFY_NONE() for the caller in new()

    • Can now pass SSL options directly to new():

      • You no longer need to use the "SSL_Client_Certificate" option to pass the hash reference of SSL options

      • Currently only recognises IO::Socket::SSL options that start with SSL_

      • If any start with something else, they will be addressed in a future release
    • Clarified some POD information on a few methods
    • Enhanced "size" function to use STAT if SIZE isn't available

    • Fixed case where sometimes the login account used wasn't being masked in the response in the logs
    • Now print the INET version in the log file
    • Reset $ERRSTR in new() in case previous call had errors

    • Fixed t/10-complex.t func run_stat_test() to test the "is_file" and "is_dir()" functions; some tests disable the "SIZE" command so it can test the new alternate size logic as well

    • New test program t/05-simple.t that does a simple read only test against the FTPS server

      • Added so that you can run a simple test against servers you don't want to upload anything to during the tests
      • These tests are not as robust as the t/10-complex.t tests so failures here are not as meaningful; hence, run t/10-complex if you encounter any issues for more analysis

    • Added t/05-simple.t to the MANIFEST

    • Updated the Copyright in the README file, and reworded a few sections

    • Updated all t/*.t files to add a retry the 1st time they try to connect to a server via new(); added a hard coded "SSL_cipher_list" value if the defaults don't work (this kludge might not work for everyone)

    • Modified t/20-certificate.t to be a bit more robust

    • Note: Found a server where supported() doesn't completely work; that server fails to put a "*" after some of the commands it didn't implement

  • Updated perl-YAML-LibYAML to 0.63 as per the Fedora version

Saturday 9th July 2016

Fedora Project

    • Increased TRACE_MOD from 5 to 10 blocks

    • Added BEGIN block to detect if IPv6 support is possible; it does this by asking IO::Socket::SSL instead of reinventing the wheel

    • Moved the generation of the Debug log header info for CPAN support to BEGIN as well so that this info gets centralized instead of repeated

    • Added Domain/Family as a new option for choosing IPv4 vs. IPv6

    • Added OverrideHELP => -1 option to use FEAT instead, when HELP is broken

    • Updated quot() to recognize that MLSD also requires a data channel; also improved the disable HELP logic used here

    • Broke up _feat() into _feat() and feat(), and added feat() to the POD; this was done since under some circumstances the feature list can be dynamic

    • Rewrote _help() to make it less confusing

    • Fixed PreserveTimestamp bug in transfer() and xtransfer()

    • Added new option xWait for use by xput() and xtransfer(); some servers won't honour the rename of the scratch file to its final name without instituting a delay, so this option allows you to specify one

    • README: Added more notes about turning on/off SSL logging; newer versions allow for dynamic turning on/off

    • t/10-complex.t: Changes to the main test script:

      • Now uses fix_supported() in its is_file() tests since these test cases hit some lies told by some servers

      • Fixed so its main logs are named after this test program like the other test cases do
      • Added new test to verify if the MDTM command correctly uses GMT time instead of local time (assumes MFMT will use the same time zone)

      • Added xWait of 1 second to deal with problem FTP/S servers that require a wait for the xput and xtransfer tests to work

    • t/05-readonly.t: Renamed 05-simple to 05-readonly to more accurately describe the types of tests this test script does

  • Updated perl-Net-SSLeay (1.74) to fix FTBFS when perl is not in the minimal build root

  • Updated perl-Test2 to 1.302049 as per the Fedora perl-Test-Simple package

  • Updated perl-Test2-Suite to 0.000054:

    • Make bag check fail when given an empty array
    • Clean up bag diagnostics
  • Updated unrar (5.40 beta 4) for new upstream tarball but same version number

Fedora Project

  • Updated gtkwave to 3.3.74 in F-25 and Rawhide:

    • Fix for when a signal name is used as a hierarchy name at the same level of scope (affects fsdb)

    • Added --rcvar command line option to insert rc variable changes individually without needing to point to a configuration file

    • Change to combine traces down/up routines to handle 2D vector name generation
    • Allow FSDB files to contain ".gz" and ".bz2" suffixes as the libnffr loader can handle those

    • If a variable is declared in the dumpfile as an integer, then it is imported to the waveform display as an integer instead of a hex value; this works for dump file formats that show the datatype in the SST window
    • Added code that should prevent the primary marker from disappearing unexpectedly as well as dynamic resizing being stuck in the unset marker width
  • Updated perl-Net-SSLeay to 1.76 in F-25 and Rawhide:

    • Compatibility with OpenSSL 1.1, tested with openssl-1.1.0-pre5:

      • Conditionally remove threading locking code, not needed in 1.1
      • Rewrite code that accesses inside X509_ATTRIBUTE struct

      • SSL_CTX_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_CTX_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_CTX_set_tmp_rsa_callback, SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback support not available in 1.1

      • SSL_session_reused is now native

      • SSL_get_keyblock_size modifed to use new API

      • OCSP functions modified to use new API under 1.1
      • SSL_set_state removed with 1.1

      • SSL_get_state and SSL_state are now equivalent and available in all versions

      • SSL_CTX_v2_new removed

      • SESSION_set_master_key removed with 1.1; code that previously used SESSION_set_master_key must now set $secret in the session_secret callback set with SSL_set_session_secret_cb

      • With 1.1, $secret in the session_secret callback set with SSL_set_session_secret_cb can be changed to alter the master key (required by EAP-FAST)

    • Added a function EC_KEY_generate_key similar to RSA_generate_key and a function EVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY similar to EVP_PKEY_assign_RSA; using these functions it is easy to create and use EC keys in the same way as RSA keys

    • Testing with LibreSSL 2.4.1

    • Provide support for cross context (and cross process) session sharing using the stateless TLS session tickets
    • Added documentation about downloading latest version from SVN
    • Added missing Module/install files to SVN

Local Packages

  • Updated gtkwave to 3.3.74 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Devel-PartialDump (0.18), perl-FileHandle-Unget (0.1628), perl-JSON  (2.90), perl-Module-Manifest (1.08) to fix FTBFS when perl is not in the minimal buildroot

  • Updated perl-Net-SSLeay to 1.76 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Test2-Suite to 0.000055:

    • Spelling fix from Debian
    • Fix \d[0-9] in several places

  • Updated perl-XML-LibXSLT to 1.95:

    • Makefile.PL shouldn't run "pkg-config libexslt" if LIBS or INC were provided (CPAN RT#116461)
