[announce] skarnet.org Winter 2021-2022 release

["Laurent Bercot" <ska-skaware@skarnet.org>]

  Hello,

  New versions of all the skarnet.org packages are available.

  The changes are, for the most part, minimal: essentially, the new
versions  fix a bug in the build system that made cross-building under
slashpackage more difficult than intended. Very few people should
have been impacted by this bug.
  Some packages had a few more bugfixes; and some packages have
additional functionality. No major update; no compatibility break.

  The new versions are the following:

skalibs-2.11.1.0             (minor)
nsss-0.2.0.1                 (release)
utmps-0.1.1.0                (minor)
execline-2.8.2.0             (minor)
s6-2.11.0.1                  (release)
s6-rc-0.5.3.0                (minor)
s6-portable-utils-2.2.3.4    (release)
s6-linux-utils-2.5.1.7       (release)
s6-linux-init-1.0.7.0        (minor)
s6-dns-2.3.5.3               (release)
s6-networking-2.5.1.0        (minor)
mdevd-0.1.5.1                (release)
bcnm-0.0.1.5                 (release)
dnsfunnel-0.0.1.3            (release)
smtpd-starttls-proxy-0.0.1.1 (release)

  Dependencies have all been updated to the latest versions. They are not
strict: libraries and binaries may build with older releases of their
dependencies, although this is not guaranteed.

  You do not need to recompile your s6-rc service databases. To make use
of the new s6-linux-init functionality, however, you will have to
recreate your run-image.
  You do not need to restart your supervision tree, unless you're 
deleting
your old s6 binaries.

  Details of minor package changes follow.

* skalibs-2.11.1.0
   ----------------

  - New function: opendir_at()


* utmps-0.1.1.0
   ------------

  - New binary: utmps-write, a generic utmp client that can write
user-crafted records to the utmp and/or wtmp databases.


* execline-2.8.2.0
   ----------------

  - New -s option to the case binary, enabling fnmatch() (shell)
expression matching instead of regular expression matching.


* s6-rc-0.5.3.0
   -------------

  - Bundle contents are now read in a "contents.d/" subdirectory, one
file per content, instead of one per line in a "contents" file. In
the same way, service dependencies are now read in a "dependencies.d/"
subdirectory, one file per dependency. Old "contents" and "dependencies"
files are still supported, but deprecated. This change allows better
integration of s6-rc service definitions with package managers.


* s6-linux-init-1.0.7.0
   ---------------------

  - New -S option to s6-linux-init-maker, forcing a sync on halt even
in a container.


* s6-networking-2.5.1.0
   ---------------------

  - SNI wildcarding is implemented, as well as a workaround for a
bearssl bug causing errors on certificate signatures in certain cases.


  Enjoy,
  Bug-reports welcome.
  And happy holidays to you all!
