While preparing this change, I read the git blame on all of the files I
touched. I saw a working lifetime of building this system which we use
every day and love dearly and keep maintained ourselves. I saw commits
from a 14 year range between 2003 to 2017!! I could not be more thankful
for Eelco's work on building large parts of the foundation of nixpkgs
that all of us rely on now.
However, the end date of that range of the files I looked at the blame
on was 2017. I did not see surviving code from any newer date than that.
Looking at the Git logs, Eelco has been working on other things, and
that's totally fine.
However, it means that our maintenance metadata is out of date on a lot
of packages, and *that*'s the reason I am submitting this change. There
are a lot of packages that don't have anyone with their name on them to
be pinged if they need attention, even if they have had recent activity
(although it is never clear if recent activity was just someone fixing
it because ZHF or because the package actually matters to them).
There are a lot of packages with storied history that maybe don't need
to be in the set anymore at all since they have not been touched in
years; or maybe they are simply finished.
Empty maintainer lists should be a sign that we need to figure out who
maintains it or potentially remove it if it has rotted, and allowing the
maintainer list to be empty if it is already not maintained is part of a
healthy repository ecology.
Either way, I would like to have the maintenance metadata not mislead
anyone into sending Eelco emails about packages he doesn't, in practice,
work on anymore. I have not removed his name from everything; there are
some things that he is the upstream for or has worked on more recently,
for instance, like Nix, which I have left alone.
This commit exposes support for compilation without dbus, controlled
by the global dbusSupport argument. This argument is understood by
many other nixpkgs expressions and can be set globally in
~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix.
Fixes: CVE-2019-14834
A vulnerability was found in dnsmasq before version 2.81, where the
memory leak allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(memory consumption) via vectors involving DHCP response creation.
Changelog:
version 2.81
Improve cache behaviour for TCP connections. For ease of
implementaion, dnsmasq has always forked a new process to handle
each incoming TCP connection. A side-effect of this is that
any DNS queries answered from TCP connections are not cached:
when TCP connections were rare, this was not a problem.
With the coming of DNSSEC, it is now the case that some
DNSSEC queries have answers which spill to TCP, and if,
for instance, this applies to the keys for the root, then
those never get cached, and performance is very bad.
This fix passes cache entries back from the TCP child process to
the main server process, and fixes the problem.
Remove the NO_FORK compile-time option, and support for uclinux.
In an era where everything has an MMU, this looks like
an anachronism, and it adds to (Ok, multiplies!) the
combinatorial explosion of compile-time options. Thanks to
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the patch.
Fix line-counting when reading /etc/hosts and friends; for
correct error messages. Thanks to Christian Rosentreter
for reporting this.
Fix bug in DNS non-terminal code, added in 2.80, which could
sometimes cause a NODATA rather than an NXDOMAIN reply.
Thanks to Norman Rasmussen, Sven Mueller and Maciej Żenczykowski
for spotting and diagnosing the bug and providing patches.
Support TCP-fastopen (RFC-7413) on both incoming and
outgoing TCP connections, if supported and enabled in the OS.
Improve kernel-capability manipulation code under Linux. Dnsmasq
now fails early if a required capability is not available, and
tries not to request capabilities not required by its
configuration.
Add --shared-network config. This enables allocation of addresses
by the DHCP server in subnets where the server (or relay) does not
have an interface on the network in that subnet. Many thanks to
kamp.de for sponsoring this feature.
Fix broken contrib/lease_tools/dhcp_lease_time.c. A packet
validation check got borked in commit 2b38e382 and release 2.80.
Thanks to Tomasz Szajner for spotting this.
Fix compilation against nettle version 3.5 and later.
Fix spurious DNSSEC validation failures when the auth section
of a reply contains unsigned RRs from a signed zone,
with the exception that NSEC and NSEC3 RRs must always be signed.
Thanks to Tore Anderson for spotting and diagnosing the bug.
Add --dhcp-ignore-clid. This disables reading of DHCP client
identifier option (option 61), so clients are only identified by
MAC addresses.
Fix a bug which stopped --dhcp-name-match from working when a hostname
is supplied in --dhcp-host. Thanks to James Feeney for spotting this.
Fix bug which caused very rarely caused zero-length DHCPv6 packets.
Thanks to Dereck Higgins for spotting this.
Add --tftp-single-port option.
Enhance --conf-dir to load files in a deterministic order. Thanks to
Evgenii Seliavka for the suggestion and initial patch.
In the router advert code, handle case where we have two
different interfaces on the same IPv6 net, and we are doing
RA/DHCP service on only one of them. Thanks to NIIBE Yutaka
for spotting this case and making the initial patch.
Support prefixed ranges of ipv6 addresses in dhcp-host.
This eases problems chain-netbooting, where each link in the
chain requests an address using a different UID. With a single
address, only one gets the "static" address, but with this
fix, enough addresses can be reserved for all the stages of the
boot. Many thanks to Harald Jensås for his work on this idea and
earlier patches.
Add filtering by tag of --dhcp-host directives. Based on a patch
by Harald Jensås.
Allow empty server spec in --rev-server, to match --server.
Remove DSA signature verification from DNSSEC, as specified in
RFC 8624. Thanks to Loganaden Velvindron for the original patch.
Add --script-on-renewal option.
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.
Misc...
- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.
- rewrites:
docbook5_xsl -> docbook_xsl_ns
docbook_xml_xslt -> docbook_xsl
diffpdf: fixup
The following parameters are now available:
* hardeningDisable
To disable specific hardening flags
* hardeningEnable
To enable specific hardening flags
Only the cc-wrapper supports this right now, but these may be reused by
other wrappers, builders or setup hooks.
cc-wrapper supports the following flags:
* fortify
* stackprotector
* pie (disabled by default)
* pic
* strictoverflow
* format
* relro
* bindnow
* The module now has systemd config
* Add resolveLocalQueries option which sets up it as a dns server for
local host (including reasonable setup of resolvconf)
* Add "dnsmasq" user for running daemon
* Enabled dbus and dnssec support for the package
