Tawie Server Linux Bugfix Advisory #2003-0002

Package name:      proftpd, rsync, rpm, release, swup/swupconf
Summary:           Minor bugfix
Date:              2003-10-02
Affected versions: TSL 1.2, 1.5, 2.0

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
  ProFTPd is an enhanced FTP server with a focus toward simplicity, security,
  and ease of configuration. It features a very Apache-like configuration
  syntax, and a highly customizable server infrastructure, including support
  for multiple 'virtual' FTP servers, anonymous FTP, and permission-based
  directory visibility.

  Rsync uses a quick and reliable algorithm to very quickly bring remote and
  host files into sync. Rsync is fast because it just sends the differences in
  the files over the network (instead of sending the complete files). Rsync is
  often used as a very powerful mirroring process or just as a more capable
  replacement for the rcp command. A technical report which describes the rsync
  algorithm is included in this package.Install rsync if you need a powerful
  mirroring program.

  The RPM Package Manager is a powerful command line driven package
  management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying,
  querying, and updating software packages.  Each software package
  consists of an archive of files along with information about the
  package like its version, a description, etc.
  
  Release is a package just to identify the release of the distribution.

  SWUP - SoftWare UPdater is an extension for existing software packaging
  systems to facilitate automatic and secure update and install. SWUP handles
  dependencies between software packages, and is able to fetch additional
  required software when installing or upgrading.  Problem description:
  
Problem description:
  The latest proftpd updates for TSL 1.X where based on the specification for
  TSL 2.0, and didn't work.
  
  In addition the version of rsync shipped in 1.X contained a problem which 
  made partial downloading of files not work as expected.
  The latest rpm update for tawie-2.0 had wrong macros files.

  These upgrades adress the issues.

Action:
  We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
  Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this
  package, you may want to remove it from your system.


Location:
  All TSL updates are available from
  <URI:http://http.tawie.org/pub/tawie/updates/>
  <URI:ftp://ftp.tawie.org/pub/tawie/updates/>


About Tawie Server Linux:

  on security and stability, the system is painlessly kept safe and up to
  date from day one using swup, the automated software updater.


Automatic updates:
  Users of the SWUP tool can enjoy having updates automatically
  installed using 'swup --upgrade'.


Public testing:
  These packages have been available for public testing for some time.
