Version 6.12.7 of the LDM package has been released. Improvements include:
rsyslogd(8)
on a Solaris
system with configuration-file
/etc/opt/csw/rsyslog.conf
and PID-file
/var/run/rsyslogd.pid
.
pqact(1)
, hopefully
stopping it from receiving a SIGSEGV when
executing regexec(3)
. This has only occurred on
one host and it's not clear if it's due to the code or the
host.
The complete set of changes can be found here.
This new package can be downloaded here.

Version 6.12.6 of the LDM has been released.
Besides supporting the new NOAAPORT channels (like version 6.12.5) this version understands how to handle HRRR and ESTOFS data-products that will soon be added to the NOAAPORT broadcast.
Support for two additional channels will be added for the GOES-R satellite sometime before it's launched (currently scheduled for the second quarter of 2016).
Additional information about this release is available on the LDM 6.12.6 page. You can find a link to the source download area on the main LDM page.

Version 6.11.7 of the LDM has been released. It fixes a bug that caused the NOAAPORT ingest component to crash.
Here's the story:
The NOAAPORT Satellite Broadcast System contains a lot of GRIB-2 messages. Such messages require external tables in order to be interpreted. The NOAAPORT ingest component of the LDM uses the tables that come with GEMPAK to interpret GRIB-2 messages in order to generate meaningful LDM product-identifiers. Unfortunately, not all tables are complete and creators of GRIB-2 messages are free to add data for which no corresponding table-entry exists.

Version 6.11.6 of the LDM has been released. Continuing the trend of version 6.11.5, this version doesn't have the PNG or ZLIB packages bundled-in -- and for the same reasons: bundling is no longer necessary, security is enhanced by removing them, and the size of the LDM package is reduced. You must have the PNG and ZLIB development packages installed in order to build this version of the LDM.
