I’ve had IPv6 connectivity for over 5 years (first from IIJ, now from SixXS). However, it wasn’t until last night that I finally got my website on IPv6, when some final wrinkles in the web server configuration were ironed out. (more…)

NetBSD News Beat
I have started a new page about NetBSD: the NetBSD News Beat is aggregated from a number of feeds that publish NetBSD-related articles. As of now there are seven sources, listed at the bottom of the news page.
I’d be glad to add more feeds to the page, so please send in suggestions either by commenting on this article or by emailing me. Feeds in any RSS version or Atom can be included.
I’m still looking at different aggregators best suited for the job, but currently I’m using rawdog by Adam Sampson.
- » NetBSD 3.0
- NetBSD 3.0 has been released!
- » IceS with Perl extensions
- I’ve gotten back to pkgsrc work through rebuilding everything on my development system. I’ve found that some of “my” packages have been changed while I’ve been busy with other things. The IceS MP3 streamer (audio/ices-mp3) wouldn’t even compile anymore with the embedded Perl option enabled. I use a Perl module called mstream to keep my personal radio stream going. I’ve reverted the offending change and all is good again.
- » Upgraded leafnode to 1.11.2
- I took a few minutes to upgrade leafnode to version 1.11.2 to address a denial of service vulnerability. Update your pkgsrc tree to get the new version.
- » DoS vulnerability fixed in postgrey
- I’ve updated postgrey to version 1.21 in pkgsrc due to a denial-of-service vulnerability.
- » Compilation issue with php-imap
- After some head scratching I stumbled on a workaround for making the php-imap package compile again (PR/29962). I couldn’t have deployed a new version of PHP without the IMAP extension, yet an upgrade was needed due to denial-of-service vulnerabilities (CAN-2005-0524 and CAN-2005-0525).
