Please update the pure-ftpd ebuild to version 1.0.16b. There have been no major change since 1.0.16a except bug fixes including an XSS fix. The current ebuild for version 1.0.16a perfectly works with 1.0.16b, just bump the version number.
would also be nice to cleanout a few old ebuilds ;)
1.0.16b is now in portage. Please let me know if you find any problems, also, would it be in the security interest of gentoo users that we mark this stable for all architectures?
The ebuild has been tested on x86 and ppc, everything looks fine. The diffs against 1.0.16a are minor and as 1.0.16a was already marked stable on x86. The XSS issue doesn't directly affect pure-ftpd, but it's a security issue nevertheless so yes, it would be a good idea to mark 1.0.16b as stable on all arch. Moreover on sparc the current version marked as stable is very old.
1.0.16b has been marked stable for all arches.
