Changes to the NetBSD Packages Collection in July 1999
======================================================

July was a busy month again for the packages people, and I must thank
itojun-san for complementing the IPv6 work he did in basesrc and
syssrc by making some of the more popular and useful packages IPv6
aware - the list includes:  apache6, fetchmail, qpopper, rsync, ssh,
and zebra; and to Johnny Lam for updating ncurses, cdk, lynx and
readline.

As far as the packages collection goes, Matt Green enabled xpkgwedge
again (this is the package that places X11 packages under
${LOCALBASE}, thereby keeping the X11 tree clean), a "show-downlevel"
target was added which shows any differences between the version of an
installed package and the version in pkgsrc, Hubert re-worked the
README.html page generation so that binary packages built for older
releases will be shown, and we also added patch-file checksums, which
activate MD5 checksums on a package's patch files, and only apply
"officially sanctioned" patches during the "patch" stage of building. 
(local patches will be applied if their names match patch-local-*). 
We also added a DIST_PATH definition, a colon-delimited list of
directories, in which to search for distfiles and patchfiles before
attempting to download them.  This can also be used, for example, to
use a CDROM as the main repository for distfiles, with updated ones
held in different directories.

Notable packages added to the packages collection include: 
afterstep-current, apache6, CompuPic, dict-{client,server}, a number
of biology-related packages, gnofin(thanks, Ted), gnumeric, iodbc,
libggi/libgii, libglade, lwm, plptools, port2pkg, pth, ruby, tcl-cgi,
and xworld.  Notable updates include:  cdk, docbook, dt, fetchmail,
gated, various gnome components, ImageMagick, inn, ircII, libxml,
lsof, lynx, ncurses, ngrep, ntp4, pth (thanks, sakamoto-san),
readline, siag, spim, squid, xemacs, xps, xsane and zebra.

The "Cool Package of the Month" award goes to xworld, which gives me
most of the functionality of xearth or xglobe at a fraction of the
size (both text and data).  Many thanks to Alexandre Wennmacher for
this nice little utility.
