Add third-party RTMP module, v.0.1.5,
https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module.
Note! The RTMP module does not share data between workers and only
works in one-worker mode.
Do not bump PORTREVISION because this module is disabled by default.

The Grind is a simple game about escaping from work at a reasonable hour
by avoiding responsibility.
The goal is to acquire as little work (as few "to-do's") as possible
throughout your 9-5 workday.
Wander around the cubicles and hide from the men in suits--if they're
coming your way, that means they want to give you work!
Use the arrow keys to move, space to start, and escape to exit.

Unfortunately, boasts about your accomplishment have drawn the wrath of jealous

TUI mode is available now for kgdb on DragonFly, thanks to John Marino. It’s apparently a Text User Interface for debugging core files. I haven’t used it, so I’m relying on the testimony of others.

Apparently Apache 2.4 has a bug that will cause network stalls when sending data that doesn’t line up with segment size. Sepherosa Ziehau has put in a workaround for the issue. Alternately, you can use www/apache22.

Philip Guenther(guenther@), the man who got this hackathon rolling, takes the time to organize his post-its:
Sometimes you go into a hackathon knowing exactly what you're going
to tackle and it all follows the plan. No, wait, that never happens.
There's always something that comes up that ends up eating more of
the hackathon than you would have expected.

John Marino has updated libncurses, libedit, gdb, libgmp, and zlib. The release notes are helpfully contained within each commit. If that wasn’t enough, he’s also added terminfo, a future replacement for termcap, if I understand correctly.

Gilles Chehade(gilles@) gives us a preview of an upcoming
OpenSMTPD
feature:
During the r2k12 hackathon in Paris, Marc Espie committed SQLite to OpenBSD's base system.
This has the side effect that OpenSMTPD can start using it and while we agreed that we did not want it as a strong dependency, the backends API allows us to make it a soft dependency that can be removed without breaking the daemon if someone *really* does not want SQLite linked.
Today I decided to give it a try and implement a SQLite backend to the map API. About ten minutes later (yes, really ten minutes !), I had a working prototype that was suboptimal and that didn't make use of SQL capabilities.
An hour later, I have a SQLite backend that will use multiple tables with different structures and that can be used to lookup aliases, virtual domains and credentials for authenticated relaying.
gilles@ walks you through it below the fold.

SSH Mastery: OpenSSH, PuTTY, Tunnels, and Keys

Secure Shell (SSH) lets systems administrators securely manage remote systems. But most people only use the bare minimum SSH offers. Used properly, SSH simplifies your job.
You can order the book from
the OpenBSD online store,
or from a number of other outlets. Mr Lucas explains how, as well as the book, below the fold.

I’m starting to pack these full enough that I might have to go biweekly.
Your unrelated comics link of the week: Wizzywig. A self-contained comic about the early days of phone phreaking and hacking, written and drawn by Ed Piskor. The first two chapters are available as a PDF. Read and if you like it, order the whole thing. Also: Steve and Steve. If you know your history, you’ll get the cartoon.
Ed Piskor is currently cartooning the origin of hip-hop at BoingBoing; it’s a good read.
