Summary of Changes to the Packages Collection in December 2004
==============================================================

By my calculations, at the end of December 2004, there were 5266
packages in the NetBSD Packages Collection, up from 5190 the previous
month, a rise of 76.

In December, there was a freeze on new functionality, and following
that, the pkgsrc-2004Q4 branch was made.  The freeze started on 6th
December, and lasted 2 weeks.  The old pkgsrc-2004Q3 branch has now
been deprecated, and continuing engineering now takes place on
pkgsrc-2004Q4. My thanks to all pkgsrc developers and users for
their help in making the new branch.

We also had new versions of kde, gnome, and an addition of a wiki. 
The first annual Alistair Crooks "My Login on All Files" award goes to
Grant Beattie for his updates of perl5 packages.

As part of the infrastructure, we've modified the pkg_install utilities,
so that they use a large buffer for full path names, even on operating
systems which don't use the Berkeley FFS.

The Package of the Month award goes to:  pkgsrc/graphics/graphviz,
nominated by many people including Andrew Brown, Dan McMahill, and,
ever one to jump on bandwagons, myself.  I use it in conjunction with
gpg2dot to work out who has signed my gpg key, Andrew as part of
pkgdepgraph, and Dan with some fairly nasty graphs he needed to
visualise - "to figure them out by hand would have taken forever. 
graphviz made it take 15 minutes."
