Changes to the NetBSD Packages Collection in March 2000.
========================================================

Firstly, due to security vulnerabilities, please note the update of
htdig to 3.1.5, nmh to 1.0.3, and ircII to 4.4S.  If you're running
older versions of these programs, please update your packages
immediately.

Secondly, various issues related to wildcard version numbers in 
package names have been sorted out, and the interface to pkg_admin has
been standardised.

Notable packages added this month include: aide, blt, bounce, cowsay,
httperf, isakmpd, latex2rtf, lynx-current, mksunbootcd, mutt-current,
qt2, rasmol, realplayer, snobol, ssh6, urlget, uemacs.

Notable packages updated this month include: analog, bash2, bladeenc,
cdrecord, emacs, ethereal, fetchmail, fortify, gd, gimp-current, glib
and gtk (thanks, Matthias), gnapster, gnome, htdig, ImageMagick, ircII,
its4, leim, mawk, mirror, mtr, mutt-current, nmh, openssh, png, pth, qt,
remind, snort, spruce, squid, teTeX, tgif, w3m, xemacs, xmame, zebra,
zope and zoularis.

And, finally, before the awards are stolen from under our noses, the
Package of the Month award goes to gqmpeg (pkgsrc/audio/gqmpeg) -
nominated by various people (including myself), who use it to play mp3
files.  Some interesting skins are available for it from:

	http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Haven/5235/mpeg-skin.html

And the Quirk of the Month Award goes to the magnificent cowsay
(pkgsrc/misc/cowsay) - I wonder what we did before this package came
along.

Changes to the Packages Collection Infrastructure
=================================================

	bsd.pkg.mk: pick up correct required pkgs' versions when determining
		the required packages of a required packages (i.e. 2nd level
		and below) in package-depends. PACKAGE_DEPENDS_QUICK turns
		this on, it is required that all depends are installed, i.e.
		this can be only used in the PKG_ARGS and fake-pkg case, and
		not e.g. for README.html generation. [hubertf 2000-03-09]

	pkg_install: allow pkg names without versions given to "pkg_admin
		check" [hubertf 2000-03-19]

	pkg_install: in pkg_add, before the "install dependencies" loop, check
		ALL dependencies if they _can_ be installed. I.e. if a package
		wants version X installed, but version Y is already installed,
		pkg_adding that required pkg will blow up later (probably some
		pkg_add recursions down, given what we keep in the depends
		list). Now, it stops right away:
	
		 noon# pkg_add /usr/pkgsrc/packages/i386ELF/All/xdaemon-1.0.tgz
		 pkg_add: pkg `xteddy-1.*' required, but `xteddy-2.0.1' found installed.
		 Please resolve this conflict!
	
		This also works with dewey, relational and wildcard packages.
