I've already updated the NetBSD package to 7.0.beta11, and I have a
couple of minor nits already. One patch escaped your pull-ups
(patch-ad: a long -> time_t). I've found, too, that -DNOICP doesn't
compile cleanly without patches--I want the package to build with a
"KERMIT_LITE" option suitable for remote machines with stingy disk
quotas. It also looks like we should be building with -DSUNX25 all the
time, also -DCK_DTRCD and -DCK_DTRCTS. "DTRCTS" is needed for the
mac68k. Since the API's are machine independent, there's no reason
not to build all three on all ports.

I'm still looking for the correct place to set CK_DTRCD and CK_DTRCTS;
I'll submit patches as soon as I've wrapped it up, maybe today or
within a couple of days.

Oh yeah, the man page doesn't build on NetBSD. I expect you knew that?
So this is something for a future point release?

I have read your new license, but given the controversy, I'm afraid to
touch the RESTRICTED= in the package. Have you sent mail yet to
core@netbsd.org about that?

Take care.
