This module provides a framework to produce sprite animations using
ASCII art. Each ASCII 'sprite' is given one or more frames, and placed
into the animation as an 'animation entity'. An animation entity can
have a callback routine.

"Andreas Tille, the Debian WordNet maintainer, noticed a bug in my
patch. The bug is not security related, but causes incorrect behaviour
in WordNet.
I replaced a strncpy(s1, s2, strlen(s2)) with a strcpy forgetting that
strncpy invoked that way would always omit the trailing \0 (as the \0
would always be at strlen(s2) + 1). This resulted in a truncation of
output from WordNet which relied on the previous behavior which it
used to 'patch' s1. I've now adjusted the strncpy to be a memcpy and
added a comment, to make the intent of the code clear. (Using a str*
function when you don't wish any handling of \0 is unintuitive to me,
hence my mistake). [..] Apologies for the error."
thanks Rob for the exemplary handling of this advisory. Notifications
to package maintainers and follow-ups are almost unheard-of and very
welcome.

- housekeeping: regenerate PLIST, move to Tcl/Tk 8.5,
use SUBST_CMD macro rather than hand-rolled command.
- gcc4 is needed to build this now
* improved force fields and coordinate generation, conformer searching,
enhanced plugins including molecular descriptors, filters, and
command-line transformations
* many formats improved or added, including CIF, mmCIF, Gaussian cube,
PQR, OpenDX cubes, and more
* improved developer API and scripting support
* many, many bugfixes

gtk-update-icon-cache is part of gtk+2: adding gtk+2 to run_depends just
to update the icon cache (which only gtk apps can use) is overkill to
say the least!
As from now, each time icons are installed under %D/share/icons, we try
to execute gtk-update-icon-cache and if it is not there, we just ignore
the error.
What it means is that if you have gtk+2 installed, then it'll run fine
and your apps will be able to use the cache. Otherwise, it will silently
fails which is fine since it means none of your apps would have been
able to take advantage of the cache anyway.

Supercat is a program that colorizes text based on matching regular
expressions/strings/characters. Supercat supports html output as well as
standard ASCII text. Unlike some text-colorizing programs that exist,
Supercat does not require you to have to be a programmer to make
colorization rules.

Randtype reads either standard input or text files and displays the

The randomness can be refined on the command line and special things can

DigiTemp is a simple to use program for reading values from 1-wire
devices. Its main use is for reading temperature sensors, but it
also reads counters, and understands the 1-wire hubs with devices
on different branches of the network. DigiTemp now supports the
following 1-wire temperature sensors: DS18S20 (and DS1820), DS18B20,
DS1822, the DS2438 Smart Battery Monitor, DS2422 and DS2423 Counters,
DS2409 MicroLAN Coupler (used in 1-wire hubs), and the AAG TAI-8540
humidity sensor.

zzuf is a transparent application input fuzzer. Its purpose is to find
bugs in applications by corrupting their user-contributed data (which
more than often comes from untrusted sources on the Internet). It works
by intercepting file and network operations and changing random bits in
the program's input. zzuf's behaviour is deterministic, making it easier
to reproduce bugs. Its main areas of use are:
* quality assurance: use zzuf to test existing software, or integrate it
into your own software's testsuite
* security: very often, segmentation faults or memory corruption issues
mean a potential security hole, zzuf helps exposing some of them

WordNet is a large lexical database of English, developed under the
direction of George A. Miller. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs
are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing
a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic
and lexical relations. The resulting network of meaningfully related
words and concepts can be navigated with the browser. WordNet is
also freely and publicly available for download. WordNet's structure
makes it a useful tool for computational linguistics and natural
language processing.

LifeLines is a free and open source genealogy program to help with
your family history research. It has native versions for Unix-like,
Mac, and Windows operating systems.
The format of the data as presented to the user for viewing, data
entry, and updating follows the GEDCOM format.
The real power of LifeLines is its scripting ability. There are a
number of LifeLines reports (aka scripts) that generate all manner
of output -- ahnentafels, ancestor/descendent reports, formatted
ancestor reports, beautiful books of all ancestors, fan charts of
ancestors, vital records of all individuals in a format suitable
for importing to palm pilot databases (specifically DB which is
also hosted here on SourceForge). All the reports are included in
the kit.
Several reports can do error and sanity checking of data; such as
deaths before births, extreme May-December marriages, etc.
GRAMPS is the Genealogical Research and Analysis Management Program
System. In other words, it is a personal genealogy program letting you
store, edit, and research genealogical data using the powers of your

GRAMPS makes every effort to maintain compatibility with GEDCOM, the
general standard of recording genealogical information. We have import
and export filters that enable GRAMPS to read and write GEDCOM files.

WordGenerator generates hypothetical words from specifications of their
syllable structure. You specify the maximum length of the words in
syllables, the abstract structure of syllables in the language (in terms
of such units as consonants and vowels or onsets and rhymes), and the
actual sounds that comprise each abstract class (e.g. the list of vowels
in the language) and WordGenerator then generates the words that conform
to this specification.

This module will make backups and rotate them according to your
specification. It creates a backup directory based on the file_prefix
you specify and the current time. It then copies the directories you
specified in the call to new() to that backup directory. Then a tar'd
and compressed file is created from that directory. By default, bzip2 is
used for compression.

dtach is a tiny program that emulates the detach feature of screen,
allowing you to run a program in an environment that is protected from
the controlling terminal and attach to it later. dtach does not keep
track of the contents of the screen, and thus works best with programs
that know how to redraw themselves.
GNU watch runs a command repeatedly, displaying its output (the first

fix completely brain-dead formula for computing padding that worked by
accident (except for 32 bits display)
make sure we get our CFLAGS and not the shit it wants (especially since
we use -fno-strict-aliasing anyways).
and bump PKGNAME, of course...
the FULLPKGPATH, thus providing changes to packing-lists which shouldn't
happen, and making update more difficult.
Accordingly, bump all pkgnames with PSEUDO_FLAVORS, and provide an
update @pkgpath for the bug for most of them (left out the ones with 3
or 4 pseudo flavors for space constraints...)
packing-lists was changes in significant ways, and they do not have
enough dependencies that pkg_add can detect they changed through their
signature.
Bump the pkgname, so that pkg_add -r will choose to update them.
okay pvalchev@
As noted on ports@ recently, pkg_add -r relies on conflicts, and the
sheer existence of updates means we MUST take the past into account in
conflicts now.
Note the renaming of hugs98 to valid package names where versions are
concerned.
This commit shows clearly the renaming of the xfce4 plugin packages, the
ditching of eclipse flavors, the splitting of nessus into subpackages,
the splitting of various other software documentations, some packaging bugs
