Hi All,
Pflogsumm version 1.1.11 has been released. This is a Beta release
that supersedes the v1.1.7 through v1.1.10 Beta releases.
Jim,
thanks for the continued or revived maintenance of this venerable
and useful software.
You're quite welcome. I'm glad you find it useful :)
I came across one change which broke my crontab, and that is that
1.1.11 renamed --verp_mung to --verp-mung.
[snip]
Would you be so kind as to announce that rename and other breaking
changes in the changelog? Thanks a lot.
I did. It's both in the ChangeLog and was posted here:
>From the ChangeLog:
rel-1.1.8 20250525
[snip]
pflogsumm no longer accepts underscores ("_") as part of option
names. (Note: this finally addresses four-year-old Bugzilla bug
1931403.)
That and the other major UI change were right at the top.
Yes, right. I missed that because I was looking specifically for
"verp". I also only cursorily read this because I am in fact using the
FreeBSD port, which updated from 1.1.6 to 1.1.11 on July 16, and I am
Bcc:'ing our FreeBSD port maintainer to put some warning flags up in a
post-install message or ports/UPDATING and see how we can deal with that
in the FreeBSD world.
@Flo, can you please add 1/2) a ports/mail/pflogsumm/pkg-message and
2/2) a hint to ports/UPDATING to the main branch of mail/pflogsumm that
people check their crontab/periodic jobs for the old underscore-form of
options? We shouldn't break users of the quarterly branch without
telling them in two months when we'll branch 2025Q4. Thanks.
Also, in my software, I routinely have a section "Breaking Changes" or
similar that documents changed interfaces to make those changes stand
out, and in stuff I control, I usually adhere to semantic versioning,
and - but that's your call, not mine - I would have bumped the major
revision to 2.0.0 in that situation unless that old form with
--verp_mung would have been announced deprecated for a long time. So
maybe I need to not assume everyone does that semantic versioning,
too... <https://semver.org> :-)
Thanks again,
Matthias
