Summary of Changes to the NetBSD Packages Collection in June 2001
=================================================================

[Please refer to the article  on tech-pkg@netbsd.org for the full
text of this announcement - agc]

By my calculations, 61 packages were added in June 2001, giving a
total of 2246 packages on 1st July.  This isn't as good as the 100
packages added during May, but still a significant figure.  My thanks
to everyone who helped produce this figure.

I must also thank Johnny Lam, who has been adding buildlink features
to pkgsrc, so that your builds are much more exact - only libraries
which are intended are linked in - and known good versions of other
libraries are used in a consistent way.

Notable additions to the packages collection include:  amaterus,
apsfilter, audacity, avifile-devel, cfs, cvs2html, dhisd, elib, gcvs,
gpa, gsed, hevea, libxml2, lua, mutt-devel, napshare, nslint, oe2mbx,
various Perl 5 utilities, pconsole, various php extensions,
pilot-link-libs, pim6dd, pim6sd, poppassd, poppy, various ruby
packages, sablotron, semantic, snns, speedbar, StuffIt, txt2man,
vfstpd, xalarm, xmailwatcher, zebedee, and zsh4.

Notable updates to packages include:  amanda, analog, antiword,
ap-ssl, apache, audit-packages, awka, bind9-current, bmake, bozohttpd,

This months Package of the Month award goes to pwm, nominated by
David Brownlee - it's a small but powerful window manager (300K
resident size on a Sparc), and worth investigating.
