A pile of sh and pam fixes


Peter Avalos added an avalanche of updates for PAM and sh, so I’ll link to a few of them.  The changes are mostly sourced from FreeBSD.  The PAM changes remove pam_krb5 and pam_ksu, for which there’s an alternative.

Pkgsrc packages possibly pruned


There’s a number of pkgsrc packages that have a combination of security vulnerabilites and lack of updates for more than a year which is placing them on the chopping block.  (Follow the discussion to see which ones make it off the list.)  The removals will happen after the next branch, pkgsrc-2011Q1, which is itself due in two days.

More memoryallocators manpage material


Venkatesh Srinivas has added a new memoryallocators(9) man page, to describe the various memory allocation schemes in DragonFly.  It gives descriptions of each and leads off to more man pages.
