HEADSUP: pf 4.1 import

[Max Laier]

All,

in the course of this afternoon (CEST) I'll import the OpenBSD 4.1 version
of pf. The build might break for a short time, but I'll try to keep it
as short as possible.

Users of pf should hold off a bit as I plan to commit a tiny ABI break
after the update is finished in order to be able to add netgraph support
in the future. After that a full "buildworld buildkernel installkernel
installworld mergemaster"-run is advised.

Will send an all clear when done.

Thanks Max! Is there a place on the web that lists interesting new
features and fixes in that release?

Thomas.

http://www.openbsd.org/{38,39,40,41}.html Note that some functionality is
not available in FreeBSD (routing code related stuff, pfsync for IPSEC,
something I'm forgetting right now ... I'll try to compile a list later).

this is it. Though my post commit build is still running, things should
be alright again.

Users of pf please note that tcpdump and libpcap need additional patches
that need to go through the vendor first. I'm trying to get things
moving there, but for the time being, please use the attached patch to
understand the new pflog format.

Anyone with hands at tcpdump.org? Help appreciated!

In case you wondered, too. The signature on my last message was bad
because the ?list? applied the following cleanup:

-Content-Type: text/x-diff; charset="iso-8859-6";
- name="pf.41.tcpdump_local.diff"
+Content-Type: text/x-diff;
+ charset="iso-8859-6";
+ name="pf.41.tcpdump_local.diff"

The patch is good - there is no conspiracy ;)

We'll also have to see if Joel Knight's Net-SNMP patches work with our
5.3 in ports/net-mgmnt.
