It fetches it from anonymous CVS (March 10, 2001 snapshot) and
installs the libs as well as a few TCL files (mostly samples).

This is a first stab at something which will be documented in the next
edition of "The Complete FreeBSD". Comments welcome.

the KDE team's excellent work, I am initiating burn sequence for KDE
1.x. All base KDE1 ports are hereby nuked. I am also reluctantly
reassuming maintainership of the KDE2 ports. Official KDE 2.1 packages
built for FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE w/ XFree86 4.0.2 are available on KDE's
official ftp mirrors now. Enjoy!
Note: It seems that the KDE people rerolled their kdelibs and kdebase
packages, and a quick examination of diffs reveal minor changes, but the
port should still work. I'll fix the packaging problems that bento runs
into.

there.
For those who missed decsription from previous commit:
Add aureal-kmod - a port to provide convinient way for building FreeBSD driver
for Aureal based soundcards. This driver could not be added to the base system
because it's uses binary-only Linux Vortex Core object modules.
The port supports 4-STABLE and 5-CURRENT, however 4-STABLE isn't tested, so
please report your mileage to me.

and it therefore can be quite useful in situations where a minimal system
is being used or when a windowing system is otherwise unavailable or
unfeasible.

editing and searching features) for several bibliographic database formats -
currently supported are BibTeX, Medline, Ovid and Refer. In addition, it can
export references directly to LyX.

forth (all with a "g" prepended to their names). With the approval
of the submitter, I've disabled the suid bit on gsu by default,
with a note to users that they should review the philosophy behind
GNU su:
Why GNU `su' does not support the `wheel' group
===============================================
(This section is by Richard Stallman.)
Sometimes a few of the users try to hold total power over all the
rest. For example, in 1984, a few users at the MIT AI lab decided to
seize power by changing the operator password on the Twenex system and
keeping it secret from everyone else. (I was able to thwart this coup
and give power back to the users by patching the kernel, but I wouldn't
know how to do that in Unix.)
However, occasionally the rulers do tell someone. Under the usual
`su' mechanism, once someone learns the root password who sympathizes
with the ordinary users, he or she can tell the rest. The "wheel
group" feature would make this impossible, and thus cement the power of
the rulers.
I'm on the side of the masses, not that of the rulers. If you are
used to supporting the bosses and sysadmins in whatever they do, you
might find this idea strange at first.
