382: backlog
383: <li>Improve handling of nexthop reachability state changes
384: </ul>
385: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rpki-client.8">rpki-client(8)</a> saw some changes:
386: <ul>
1.12 benno 387: <li>Allowed more than one CRL URI in certificates.
1.11 benno 388: <li>Do not apply timezone offsets when converting X509 times. X509
389: times are in UTC and comparing them to times in different timezones
390: would cause validity problems.
391: <li>Add support for an operator-configurable skiplist facility.
392: Operators can specify a list of FQDNs which should not be contacted
393: when synchronizing the local cache to the network.
394: <li>Emit a warning when a RRDP session serial number decreases.
395: <li>DER decoding functions were refactored to leverage ASN.1 templates.
396: <li>Add support to validate & inspect .sig files containing RPKI Signed
397: Checklists in filemode (-f). (draft-ietf-sidrops-rpki-rsc-08)
398: <li>Print various statistics after the completion of the main process.
399: <li>Add support to decode & print TAL (RFC 8630) details in filemode (-f).
400: <li>Emit objects in Concatenated JSON format when filemode (-f) and the JSON
401: output flag (-j) are combined.
1.13 benno 402: <li>Add support for validating Autonomous System Provider Authorization
1.11 benno 403: (ASPA) objects conforming to draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-profile-10.
404: Validated ASPA payloads are visible in JSON and filemode (-f) output.
405: <li>Set rsync connection I/O idle timeout to 15 seconds.
1.13 benno 406: <li>Unify the maximum idle I/O and connect timeouts for rsync & HTTPS.
1.11 benno 407: <li>Rpki-client now performs stricter EE certificate validation:
408: <ul>
409: <li>Disallow AS Resources extensions in ROA EE certificates.
410: <li>Disallow Subject Information Access (SIA) extensions in RPKI
411: Signed Checklist (RSC) EE certs.
412: <li>Check the resources in ROAs and RSCs against EE certs.
413: </ul>
414: <li>Improve readability and add various information being printed in
415: verbose mode.
416: <li>Extend filemode (-f) output and print X.509 certificates in PEM
417: format when increased verbosity (-vv) is specified.
418: <li>Shorten the RRDP I/O idle timeout.
419: <li>Introduce a deadline timer that aborts all repository synchronization
420: after seven eights of timeout (-s). With this rpki-client has improved
1.13 benno 421: chances to complete and produce an output even when a CA is excessively
1.11 benno 422: slow.
423: <li>Abort a currently running RRDP request process when the per-repository
424: timeout is reached.
425: <li>Permit multiple AccessDescription entries in SIA X.509 extensions. While
426: fetching from secondary locations is not yet supported, rpki-client will
1.13 benno 427: not treat occurrence as a fatal error.
1.11 benno 428: <li>Resolve a potential for a race condition in non-atomic RRDP deltas.
429: <li>Fix some memory leaks.
430: <li>Improve compliance with the HTTP protocol specification.
431: </ul>
432:
1.14 benno 433: <li>In <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ospfd.8">ospfd(8)</a>,
1.11 benno 434: relax the limitations on what is an acceptable unicast IP. There are no
435: more experiments in IPv4 and so there is less reason for network
436: daemons to deny formerly experimental IP space. Multicast IPs
1.13 benno 437: (224/4) and loopback (127/8) are still disallowed.
1.14 benno 438: <li>Added check to <a
439: href="https://man.openbsd.org/acme-client.1">acme-client(1)</a> to
440: ensure the challenge token is turned into a filename that is base64url
441: encoded.
442: <li>Added RFC 9234 "BGP Role" support to <a

828: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
829: if you know nothing about ports
830: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
831: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
832: OpenBSD ports system.
833: <p>
834: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
835: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
836: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
837: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
838: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
839: with a command like:
840: <blockquote><pre>
841: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
842: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_2</kbd>
843: </pre></blockquote>
844: <p>
845: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
846: server.]
847: <p>
848: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
849: ports for the 7.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
850: <p>
851: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
852: would like to know more, the mailing list
853: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
