Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.1.8nb2, Package name: silc-client-1.1.8nb2, Maintainer: salo

SILC (Secure Internet Live Conferencing) is a protocol which provides
secure conferencing services in the Internet over insecure channel.

SILC superficially resembles IRC, although they are very different
internally. SILC is much more than just about `encrypting the traffic'.
That is easy enough to do with IRC and SSL hybrids, but even then the
entire network cannot be secured, only part of it.

SILC provides security services, such as sending private messages entirely
secure; noone can see the message except you and the real receiver of the
message. SILC also provides same functionality for channels; noone except
those clients joined to the channel may see the messages destined to the
channel. Communication between client and server is also secured with
session keys and all commands, authentication data (such as passwords etc.)
and other traffic is entirely secured. The entire network, and all parts of
it, is secured.

SILC has secure key exchange protocol that is used to create the session keys
for each connection. SILC also provides strong authentication based on either
passwords or public key authentication. All authentication data is always
encrypted in the SILC network. Each connection has their own session keys,
all channels have channel specific keys, and all private messages can be
secured with private message specific keys.

Log message:
Don't use xargs when creating the libraries. This can result in xargs
invoking libtool twice, creating a library with most of the objects
missing.

Log message:
Bump the PKGREVISION for all packages which depend directly on perl,
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.

The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.

sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!

Log message:
Update silc-client to version 1.1.8 to fix a security problem.

Changes:
 - Portability: Check threads support in OpenBSD.
 - Security: Fixed string format vulnerability in client entry handling.
 - Autoconf upgrade.
 - PacketEngine: Don't free underlaying stream in packet stream create error
 - If packet stream creation failed it freed the stream given as argument.

   This is wrong.  It is the caller's responsibility to free it if the
   packet stream creation failed.
 - SKE: When failure is received mark SKE always failed

   Mark the SKE failed even if we don't receive error from remote.  Fixes
   crash where the callback is called back to application without valid
   key material and without error status.
