It seems like we should have OpenSLP 2.0.0Possibly. Do you have a patch for updating the package? :)Perhaps a different year for me, and you aleady have lots on your list.and D-Bus 1.7.0No. From the homepage:The current stable branch is D-Bus 1.6.x. This is the recommended version for most purposes. The current development branch is D-Bus 1.7.x, which will lead to a 1.8.x stable branch in future.We usually avoid development versions in pkgsrc.Yes- the label is "stable" but every day I receive a message from package vulnerabilities about dbus. It would seem that if it was fixed then that would also go back to dbus 1.6 but I am not sure.For SA50544 (CVE-2012-3524), it may be fixed in dbus-1.7 (master branch), but NEWS in dbus-1.6.6 and 1.6.8 also mentions about CVE-2012-3524.
They are worried about fixing security problems so that keyring will work. Gnome Keyring is the precursor "single point of fail" leading to OpenID. Big B[oy][rother] "too late, too late, too late" -Jim Douglas Morrison
One more question, though- if things like D-Bus 1.7 were included in something like /usr/pkgsrc/devel, would it or would it not lead to more secure versions of cups?"pkgsrc/devel" is not for the place neither "development branch version packages"nor "development library variant packages". See comment in pkgsrc/devel/Makefile.
Thank you for the kind response, but this is what I found in the file: COMMENT= Development utilities and lots of utilities were listed below. If I am missing something there then please expound. Darrel
