Gforth is a fast and portable implementation of the ANS Forth language.
It works nicely with the Emacs editor, offers some nice features such as
input completion and history, backtraces, a decompiler and a powerful
locals facility, and it even has a manual. Gforth combines traditional
implementation techniques with newer techniques for portability and
performance performance: its inner innerpreter is direct threaded with
several optimizations, but you can also use a traditional-style indirect
threaded interpreter.
originally based on a port by jack woehr, but completely overhauled since.
- idle was incorrectly included in the -main package, not the -idle
subpackage. Move these to where they belong.
- The -main package installed a ${LOCALBASE}/python-config, which
would conflict with future python versions. Remove this and add
a MESSAGE suggesting users symlink python-config2.5 to it if
necessary
- An Emacs .el files was also installed by the -main package, this
too would conflict with parallel installs of different major
releases. Move this to the -tools subpackage.
bump PKG_PATCHLEVEL
Flip default ALL_TARGET to the one that will be used for current
and future (>=2.5) Python releases, move old default down into
2.3 and 2.4 Makefiles
Turn on a verbose retry when regress tests fail; saves messing with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH incantations to get them to rerun
Take maintainership
Mono is an open source implementation of .NET Development Framework.
Its objective is to enable UNIX developers to build and deploy cross-platform
.NET Applications. The project implements various technologies developed by
Microsoft that have now been submitted to the ECMA for standardization.
Mono provides the necessary software to develop and run .NET client and
server applications on BSD, Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, Windows and Unix.

Giovanni Bechis
mono is not linked to the build yet, it's getting imported so we can
work on it in tree;
If you have to work on ghc-HEAD but can't get the ghc-HEAD souces, there's
no point to work on it at all.
If you complain about missing portability, and all those Haskell guys agree,
but at the same time delay bootstrapping to the next release whenever a
release happens, there's no expectation for getting bootstrapping back at
all.
