Changes to the NetBSD Packages Collection in February 2000
==========================================================

Two security vulnerabilities to note this month are:  pkgsrc/www/htdig
and pkgsrc/mail/nmh.  Please make sure you are running htdig 3.1.5
(not 3.1.4, which is vulnerable), and nmh 1.0.3 (not 1.0 or lower, and
not mh, which are vulnerable).

Please note that full wildcard and Dewey decimal relationships have
been enabled in pkgsrc for pre-requisite packages.  This has improved
our ability to depend on different versions of packages, and works for
binary and installed packages and when installing binary packages via
ftp or http.  Thanks to Hubert for following through on this.

Notable additions to the packages collection include:  bwbasic,
cardboard-schedule, cdrdao, more cross compilation environments,
fastjar, gsl, ijb, its4, libffm, libwmf, micq, pppoe, nana, pccts,
py-mysqldb, quake6 ("the IPv6 killer application?"), realplayerG2,
sendmail 8.8.8, wv and yacas.

Notable updated packages include:  abiword-personal, acroread,
afterstep, analog, ap-ssl, apache6, coda 5 server and client, dap,
ddd, emixer, emma, esound, ethereal, gcombust, gindent, gnapster,
gnome, gnupg, icewm, inn, ircII, lavaps, libslang, lsof, mpg123, mrtg,
ntp4, pdflib, png, pth, qpage, smalleiffel, snort, spruce, squid, tin,
tgif, trn, verilog, wwwoffle, xcruise, xmcd, zebra and zope.

There is a joint Package of The Month award this month:  (a) links
(pkgsrc/www/links), nominated by Julian Assange, and seconded by
Hubert Feyrer, a Lynx-like text WWW browser; and (b) cdparanoia
(pkgsrc/audio/cdparanoia), which has many votes, from Matt Green to
Steve Woodford to myself, a CDDA reading utility with extra data
verification features, and is especially effective on damaged CDs.  If
you have any CDs which will not play properly on CD players, try
reading them with cdparanoia. (If you're into that kind of thing,
I've heard good reports of libffm giving a 3x speedup to lame on
an Alpha).

Enjoy,
