portupgrade:
Properly remove obsoleted dependencies in an upgrade. This reduces
pkgdb(1)'s turn.
portversion:
Inspect the origin port to get the latest version if a package's
origin is not found in the ports database.
Distinguish between `origin is not recorded' and `origin port is not
found'. Now the flag `#' represents the former and the flag `?'
represents the latter.
- Resurrect the flag `!', which means `port Makefile broken'.
- Yes, the meanings of `#' and `!' have been reversed. Because we
would hardly see ports missing origins any longer, I decided to
assign `!' to the one we see more often.
portsdb:
Call make_describe_pass[12] with the full paths. This fixes a
problem where `portsdb -U' cannot run them if ${PREFIX}/sbin is not
in the PATH.
miscellaneous:
Improve the build process.
- Move shebang line adjustment and ${PREFIX} substitution from the
port Makefile to the source Makefiles.
- Add Makefile.compat in order to support old systems which
doesn't have the SCRIPTS framework. (4.3 or prior)
Upgrade Epson Laser printer driver to version 2.0.6.
This new version solves a problem of not printing LaTeX overline.
Also supports 4 new printers (Epson LP2200, LP8700, 8100, 9400/
and screensaver functions work by default (i.e. they let you back in if
you type the right password). This will also avoid the caveat that quite
often people install KDE using the metaport and usually leave it runnning
and by the time it's done, the not-so-helpful message is long gone.
Usability police: ~20 emails from users...
Won't mind releasing a security advisory for this if needed: kris
fighting it out to see who gets the tk.tgz -> ../All/tk-8.*.tgz link.
Today tk82 won. :-( So lets fix the race condition. I hope the tcl port
maintainers will think thru this problem and its interaction with the tk
ports.

A license is required to use, copy, modify, or distribute GateD.
The readme for this archive says that said license must be obtained
from the Merit GateD Consortium, but this consortium has been
swallowed by a company called "NextHop" which is much less friendly
about this "public" version of GateD.

are automatically detected at configure time.
