I'm in the process of rolling out 2020Q3 with some wip updates, still.
I seem unable to catch up with fixing up our builds of pkgsrc and then
having the air to push patches that should be part of the next release.

So, as a minimal gesture, I uploaded my current patch set to

	http://src.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/extra/pkgsrc-patches/2020Q3
.
Some are straight fixes, some related to BLAS move, some just local
hacks that you likely don't want. Also some are backports of what is
already in the branch. Maybe you can identify the easy ones that are
missing at glance.

I'm back at getting astrophysics stuff updated (in wip).


Alrighty then,

Thomas
