Recent Package Updates
2026-07-14: tkrev-9.4.9-1 (GUI for revision control systems)
kRev is a Tcl/Tk-based graphical interface to the CVS, Subversion and
Git configuration management systems. It will also help with RCS. It
shows the status of the files in the current working directory, and has
tools for tagging, merging, checking in/out, and other user operations.
TkDiff is included for browsing and merging your changes.
TkRev also aids in browsing the repository. For Subversion, the
repository tree is browsed like an ordinary file tree. For Git, the
branches and tags are listed. For CVS, the CVSROOT/modules file is read.
TkRev extends CVS with a method to produce a "user friendly" listing of
modules by using special comments in the CVSROOT/modules file.
The graphical 2 and 3-way diff/merge tool TkDiff is included in this
package and can be used by itself.

nano: v9.12026-07-14: gsasl19-shlibs-2.2.4-1 (GNU SASL shared libraries)
GNU SASL is an implementation of the Simple Authentication and
Security Layer framework and a few common SASL mechanisms. SASL is
used by network servers (e.g., IMAP, SMTP) to request authentication
from clients, and in clients to authenticate against servers.
GNU SASL contains a library (libgsasl), a command line utility (gsasl)
to access the library from the shell, and a manual. The library
includes support for the SASL framework (with authentication functions
and application data privacy and integrity functions) and at least
partial support for the CRAM-MD5, EXTERNAL, GSSAPI, ANONYMOUS, PLAIN,
SECURID, DIGEST-MD5, LOGIN, NTLM and KERBEROS_V5 mechanisms.
The library is portable because it does not do network communication
by itself, but rather leaves it up to the calling application. The
library is flexible with regards to the authorization infrastructure
used, as it utilizes callbacks into the application to decide whether
an user is authorized or not.
GNU SASL is written in pure ANSI C89 to be portable to embedded and
otherwise limited platforms. The entire library, with full support for
ANONYMOUS, EXTERNAL, PLAIN, LOGIN and CRAM-MD5, and the front-end that
support client and server mode, and the IMAP and SMTP protocols, fits
in under 60kb on an Intel x86 platform, without any modifications to
the code.

gsasl: v2.2.42026-07-14: graphicsmagick-1.3.47-2 (Swiss army knife of image processing)
GraphicsMagick is the swiss army knife of image processing. Comprised
of 337K lines of C and C++ code, it provides a robust and efficient
collection of tools and libraries which support reading, writing, and
manipulating an image in over 88 major formats including important
formats like DPX, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PNM, and TIFF.
GraphicsMagick supports huge images on systems that support large
files, and has been tested with gigapixel-size images. GraphicsMagick
can create new images on the fly, making it suitable for building
dynamic Web applications. GraphicsMagick may be used to resize, rotate,
sharpen, color reduce, or add special effects to an image and save the
result in the same or differing image format. Image processing
operations are available from the command line, as well as through C,
C++, Perl, Tcl, Ruby, or Windows COM programming interfaces. With some
modification, language extensions for ImageMagick may be used.
GraphicsMagick is originally derived from ImageMagick 5.5.2 but has
been completely independent of the ImageMagick project since then.
Since the fork from ImageMagick in 2002, many improvements have been
made (see news) by many authors using an open development model but
without breaking the API or utilities operation.

This package is built --with-quantum-depth=32. It will be slower and
use twice as much memory as "graphicsmagick" which is built
--with-quantum-depth=16. The higher bit-depth should only be needed for
scientific applications needing the highest accuracy. Quantum 16 is
fine for most uses and is the most optimized.

graphicsmagick: deterministic libzip deps2026-07-14: libzip5-1.11.4-1 (Library for handling zip archives)
libzip is a C library for reading, creating, and modifying zip archives.
Files can be added from data buffers, files, or compressed data copied
directly from other zip archives. Changes made without closing the
archive can be reverted. The API is documented by man pages.

groff: document fix2026-07-11: lighttpd-1.4.85-1 (Lightning fast web server)
lighttpd (pronounced /lighty/) is a secure, fast, compliant, and very flexible
web server that has been optimized for high-performance environments. lighttpd
uses memory and CPU efficiently and has lower resource use than other popular
web servers. Its advanced feature-set (FastCGI, CGI, Auth, Output-Compression,
URL-Rewriting and much more) make lighttpd the perfect web server for all
systems, small and large.

lighttpd: update to lighttpd 1.4.852026-07-09: libarchive31-3.8.5-1 (Archiver library for tar, pax and others)
The bsdtar program is FreeBSD's modern implementation of tar based
on the libarchive. It started as a test harness, but has grown into a
feature-competitive replacement for GNU tar.
The libarchive is a stream-oriented library for variety of archives.
It focuses on tar format and its variants primarily, but can also
read and/or write other families of archive formats.
Following formats are supported ('r' for reading and 'w' for writing).
On read, compression and format are always detected automatically.
[rw] uuencoded files
[rw] gzip compression
[rw] bzip2 compression
[rw] compress/LZW compression
[rw] lzma, lzip, and xz compression
[rw] lz4 compression
[rw] lzop compression
[rw] zstandard compression
[rw] GNU tar format (including GNU long filenames, long link names, and
sparse files)
[r ] Solaris 9 extended tar format (including ACLs)
[rw] Old V7 tar archives
[rw] POSIX ustar
[rw] POSIX pax interchange format
[rw] "restricted" pax format, which will create ustar archives except for
entries that require pax extensions (for long filenames, ACLs, etc).
This is the default, which is mostly compatible with the standard tar.
[rw] POSIX octet-oriented cpio ("odc")
[rw] SVR4 ASCII cpio ("newc")
[rw] Binary cpio (big-endian or little-endian)
[ w] shar archives
[rw] ISO9660 CD-ROM images (with optional Rockridge or Joliet extensions)
[rw] ZIP archives (with uncompressed or "deflate" compressed entries)
[rw] GNU and BSD 'ar' archives (including 64-bit)
[rw] 'mtree' format
[rw] 7-Zip archives
[r ] Microsoft CAB format
[r ] LHA and LZH archives
[r ] RAR archives (including RAR 5.0)
[r ] ZIPX archives (with xz, lzma, ppmd8 and bzip2 compression)
[rw] XAR archives
[rw] WARC (ISO 28500:2009) archives
