A few days ago, I noticed portaudit telling me about a few things that needed to be updated: # portaudit Affected package: rubygem-rails-1.2.3 Type of problem: rubygem-rails — session-fixation vulnerability.

Master/slave relationships

Leave a Comment / Bug fixes, Master/Slave, New ideas, PostgreSQL /

At present, master/slave relationships in FreshPorts are not stored optimally. Each port has a field, master_port, which contains the category/port of its master_port, otherwise, it is an empty string. The ideal situation would be a table such as this: create table master_slave ( master_port_id integer not null, slave_port_id integer not null, primary key (master_port_id, slave_port_id)

MASTERPORT : who uses it?

3 Comments / Bug fixes, Master/Slave /

MASTERPORT is a tool Mark Linimon and I have used for a while. It seems to have entered into common usage now. freshports.org=# select master_port, category, name from ports_active where master_port like ‘/%’ order by category, name; master_port | category | name ———————————————–+————–+————————— /usr/home/dan/ports/devel/ocaml-camlidl | archivers | ocaml-zip /usr/home/dan/ports/devel/ocaml-camlidl | graphics | ocaml-lablgl /usr/home/dan/ports/japanese/kinput2-freewnn/ |

Late last night, I wrote about a problem with virtual categories. I’ve been unable to reproduce the problem in test. But I did find the problem in production.

vuxml – fix

Leave a Comment / Bug fixes, vuxml /

This isn’t so much a fix for the vuxml problem mentioned previously as it is a fix for properly detecting and reporting fetch errors. The patch is pretty simple: $ cvs di -u utilities.pm Index: utilities.pm =================================================================== RCS file: /home/repositories/freshports-1/scripts/utilities.pm,v retrieving revision 1.16 diff -u -r1.16 utilities.pm — utilities.pm 13 Sep 2007 13:01:41 -0000 1.16

vuxml configuration still not right

Leave a Comment / Bug fixes, vuxml /

This morning portaudit told me I needed to upgrade PHP5 on a few servers. Again, I checked FreshPorts to see if a fix was in. Apparently it was. Unfortunately, it was wrong. Checking the version of vuln.xml in the ports tree, I found: $ grep ‘$FreeBSD’ ports/security/vuxml/vuln.xml $FreeBSD: ports/security/vuxml/vuln.xml,v 1.1416 2007/09/11 19:40:02 remko Exp $
