Updating packages for IPFire 2.x

Updating packages for IPFire 2.x

Hello Matthias, hello *,

recently, I was struggled updating the NRPE package in IPFire. Since
I learned a lot while doing so, and several packages are outdated
(some of them seem to be security relevant), I thought to update some
more.

Reading the development list, it seems like this is more or less
what you are doing - so it seems to be a good thing to coordinate here
if you don't mind.

Personally, I would like to go through every package in IPFire 2.x
and check whether it can be removed or needs to be updated.

What do you think of this?

Best regards,
Peter Müller

P.S.: Updating bash to 4.4 did not work here (there were a bunch
of poorly documented patches for 4.3 which won't apply, and some other
manholes I fell in) - in case anybody has experience with updating
bash, please drop me a line.

Hi Peter, Hi all,
i do have also some updates for packages in the PIPE which i do have
also positively tested. This packages are:

fping-4.0
mtr-0.92
libstatgrab-0.91
    <-- May Glances https://forum.ipfire.org/viewtopic.phpt=16563 might
be a better substitution for this
tmux-2.7
ipset-6.38
	<-- Needs to be checked with Core122 test install (may today)

Have also some OpenVPN bugfixes (one is delivered) but it is a little
quiet on the list, is the patch delivering cycle currently may off ?

@Peter
May you remember the Rsyslog thing ? We had there 
https://lists.ipfire.org/pipermail/development/2018-April/004227.html
a conversation about ? Did you go for a checkout of this ?


Greetings,

Erik

Hello Erik,

thanks for your reminder. I totally forgot about rsyslog (but are still
very interested). If you are fine with it, I'll test next weekend and
report.

Shame on me... :-|

Best regards,
Peter Müller
