The most important part in this release is added a new feature, fraud
protection. It is a phishing filter and keep in mind that it is not enable by
default. To enable it, go to Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Security and
check the "Enable Fraud Protection". I am using it right now and it doesn't
affect any speed. To learn more about fraud protection, visit here:

- Change the prefix from X11BASE to LOCALBASE, see UPDATING for details.
- Now it installs only one *.desktop for more general desktop such as xfce and
etc rather than just limit to GNOME/KDE.

- Add ${LOCALBASE,X11BASE}/lib/browser_linux_plugins, so now you can run
'acroread --install-plugin' and restart browser to have acroread7 plugins.
- Add FreeBSD mail archives in the search, using http://freebsd.rambler.ru/ .
- Clean a bit in search.ini, now the combo box of search looks a bit prettier
by have BSD stuff in a group (seperate bar). Also, make the key works in the
address bar like 'm foobar' to search in http://freebsd.rambler.ru/.
- Update pkg-descr, it's not 7.x anymore. [1]
Opera team has done a nice of job. It is more BSD/Linux friendly and
desktop friendly such as support GNOME if you are using it. For example,
it finally will using gnome-open instead kfmclient. However, it no longer
depend on OpenMotif (woohoo!). [...see changelog above for more...] Kudos!

Subject: RESTRICTED on linux-opera
Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2006 10:05:45 +0200
Hey mezz,
Just want to mention that you now have permission to remove the
RESTRICTED flag on www/linux-opera.
Best regards,
Arjan

I will worrying about xdg stuff later to see what my mind will making up, so
for now it's off by patch in the installer. It means that the *.desktop/images
stay unchange.
Security: - Replaced expired certificates from TrustCenter.
- Solved status bar issue described in Secunia Advisory 17571:
http://secunia.com/advisories/17571/
- Implemented stricter handling of the Online Certificate
Status Protocol (OCSP).
changed the prefix like linux-flashplugins*, acroread and etc moved to
X11BASE. Teach linux-opera about those changes to ability find the plugins and
works again. Bump the PORTREVISION.
- USE_LINUX now implies NO_FILTER_SHLIBS=yes. It also doesn't use FreeBSD
tools to strip binaries anymore, so it's not neccesary anymore to override
STRIP and STRIP_CMD.
- USE_LINUX_PREFIX implies NO_MTREE now.
- In the USE_LINUX case, USE_XLIB now depends upon the linux X11 libraries
instead upon the native FreeBSD libraries.
- The variable LINUX_BASE_PORT contains a string which is suitable as an
item in *_DEPENDS, so if a port BATCH_DEPENDS or FETCH_DEPENDS upon the
default (or overriden) linux base, ${LINUX_BASE_PORT} should be used
instead of a hardcoded reference.
- Change all ports to comply to the "new world order".
- The Ports Collection now allows to override the default linux_base port.
Specify e.g. OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh-9 in /etc/make.conf to use
${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-rh-9 (the logic is to use
${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-${OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT}).
- If USE_LINUX or OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE doesn't point to an existing linux_base
port and if USE_LINUX isn't set to "yes" (case insensitive), the port will
be marked as IGNORE. [1]
- Readd USE_LINUX knobs into several ports and make several uses of a
conditional dependency ("USE_LINUX?=") into an unconditional one
("USE_LINUX=") which where removed/changed by Trevor to allow the use of
alternative linux_base ports. While this is a nice goal, the implementation
resulted in missing dependencies. The OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT knob
in this commit is supposed to fix the problem while keeping the feature.
Basicaly this includes a backout of Trevor's commit, to prevent confusion
I mention it here explicitely.
- Use the correct prefix (X11- instead of LOCAL- or LINUX-) for some ports.
Chase dependencies for this.
- Changes to make linux_devtools installable on amd64, remove some stray
device nodes (they don't work on recent OS versions and aren't really
needed).
- Make linux_base-8 PREFIX clean and remove some stray device nodes.
Additionally tell a little bit more about how to setup NIS/YP [2].
- Update the PGSQL dependency in the linux-opengroupware port to a recent
version (the old one isn't available anymore), I don't know if this
works (at least it isn't more broken than before).
- Use PREFIX/usr/share/doc instead of PREFIX/usr/doc in the divx4linux
ports, the former path exists already and gets populated by other
packages too (PREFIX=LINUXPREFIX!).
- Fix some obvious (non-linuxolator) bugs in some linux ports while being
there.
- Bump PORTREVISION where neccesary.

- Use DATADIR in plist.
- To upgrade, please read in either pkg-descr or UPDATING for detail
- The pkg-descr will be update when opera.com is in less traffic.
- Copy pkg-message in UPDATING. As for www/opera maintainer/committer,
you can just add 'www/opera' when it updates to 8.0.

- Let's see if Realplayer plugins will work for anyone. It's not tested, but
added support. I am not going to be surpised if the support is limited as
common in the Linux world.
little bit and allows to proceed to a more recent linux_base from
a stable (read as: the major bugs should be ironed out or identified
and most linux ports build just fine) source.
It also allows to ship 4.11 with a working linuxolator (the EOLed
linux_base is marked forbidden because of a security hole).
This is a major update, please read UPDATING (and CHANGES if you
develop linux ports).
Changes:
- change the default linux_base from v7 to v8
- add a newer freetype to linux_base-8 for nicer fonts display [1]
- don't let cpio use hardlinks in the linux_base-8 port to quiet some
warnings in some cases [2]
- fix a cut&past error in the linux_base-8 pkg-install script [3]
- convert the binary knob "USE_LINUX" to a version specifier, e.g.
USE_LINUX=<value> specifies a dependency upon
emulators/linux_base-<value>, exceptions are a value of "7" (which
does what you want and adds a dependency to linux_base) and any
value without a corresponding port in
PORTSDIR/emulators/linux_base-<value> (which adds a dependency to
the default linux_base)
- don't implicitly add USE_LINUX with the USE_LINUX_PREFIX knob,
this allows us to use the USE_LINUX_PREFIX knob for linux_base and
paves the way for splitting up future linux base ports into
individual pieces
- remove RESTRICTED from some GPL licensed ports, even when we only
distribute binaries, we get them from official linux sites, so
anyone can grab them there if he needs to
- add a dependency upon the linux X11 bits where necessary (based upon
guesswork)
- don't use USE_X_PREFIX in some linux ports since it adds a dependency
to the FreeBSD X11 libs, as a workaround use PREFIX?= (the clean
solution would be to remove the implicit USE_XLIB from USE_X_PREFIX)
- bump the portrevision of the linux ports ("better safe than sorry"
algorithm)
- pass maintainership of the important linux infrastructure to a
mailinglist, hijack freebsd-emulation@ for this purpose (if somebody
doesn't like this: tell us your bikeshed color at freebsd-emulation@,
my color would be "linuxolator@" in case someone cares...)
- add a pkg-install script for linux-fontconfig, but don't use it;
everything should work without it (the FreeBSD fc-cache program should
do all the work), but in case we need it we just need to decomment the
pkg-install part in the Makefile
- fix some dependencies
- fix some bugs
- add some static plists
- unbreak the ports with dependecies to more than one linux_base
This also fixes some ports which are marked BROKEN because of dependencies
to v7 and v8 of linux_base at the same time.
Known bugs:
- the linux-mesa and linux-devtools ports install libGL*.so symlinks
- some "minor" plist bugs (e.g. ld.so.{conf,cache} are modified by
the linux X11 port, so linx_Base-8 moans at deinstall time)
Future work (interested souls should coordinate with freebsd-emulation@):
- add some kind of USE_LINUX_X11 knob to streamline the X11 dependencies,
or modify the behavior of USE_XLIB in the USE_LINUX case
AFAIK trevor has some patches.
- make USE_XLIB and USE_X_PREFIX orthogonal to be able to get rid of
the PREFIX?= workaround in some linux ports
Should be discussed/coordinated on/with x11@.
- move the RPM bits from x11-toolkits/linux-gtk/Makefile to PORTSDIR/Mk/
- update to a more recent linux base

security fixes:
Severity: Moderate/high
========================
- Tightened origin check for frames. A side effect of this is that
documents not passing the origin check will open in a new page.
- Fixed issue reported by Marc Schonefeld: intrusive JavaScript or
Java applet could exploit Sun Java vulnerability to retrieve
logged-in user's username and install directory.
- Fixed LiveConnect class access security issue reported by Jouko
Pynnonen.
- Fixed Secunia issue SA12981, reported by Andreas Sandblad: periods
in the file name and non-breaking spaces in content-type header type
could obscure the file type.
- Fixed Secunia issue SA13253: "hi-jacking" a named browser window.
- Improved support for the "must-revalidate" cache directive.

broke, I get no respone from the maintainer since Oct 22, 2004. The
www/linux-opera works fine with new linux-openmotif. Also, bump PORTREVISION.
To fix or update for biology/spdbv is welcome, I shall commit them if I get
patch(es) in my Inbox.
www/opera:
- The maintainer has asked me to babysitting this while he's away for
vacation. He is gone for about five weeks started last Thursday.
- Some tweak with the plugins, I have added jdk13 and jdk14 support
but I have no idea if they will work since I don't have any FreeBSD
4.x to test. Please let me know if there has any issue.
- Does the spellcheck feature works in FreeBSD 4.x? Please, contract
me on this one too. If it works, then I will need to add a dependency
of aspell with a new WITHOUT_ASPELL knob.
- See the changelog for detail:
http://www.opera.com/freebsd/changelogs/753/
www/linux-opera:
- I didn't update it to 7.52, because it still doesn't fix the security
and the plugins was broke. The 7.53 has solved all of this to allow
me to update it.
- Please read in pkg-message about the changes of search.ini if you
have a custom of it. You will have to edit it or it will not work.
- See the changelog for detail:
7.52 = http://www.opera.com/linux/changelogs/752/
7.53 = http://www.opera.com/linux/changelogs/753/
- Use DOCSDIR.
- Rename everything from opera to linux-opera, no longer in conflict
with www/opera.
- Handle the dependenies better for linux_base(8).
- Handle the better check if GNOME and KDE exist.
- Now, it will auto find flash plug-in by automatic without have to
copy in plugins directory by manual. Finally got it works, really!
