Hi!

I'll comment on some of those:

There's not supposed to be any COMMENTs file. I changed every package
some time ago to have the COMMENT in the Makefile. Please update
bsd.pkg.mk and pkglint.

The php4 package only should depend on zlib on Sun, because NetBSD has
zlib in base, and for some time now (definitively in 1.5).
The only mention of zlib I could find related to that package is
.if ${OPSYS} == "SunOS"
DEPENDS+=               zlib-*:../../devel/zlib
.endif
in php4/Makefile.common.

1.5 has openssl, and I think it even has the same version that is
right now in pkgsrc, which isn't 0.9.6 yet. There was a short time
(2/27 to 3/1) when the package believed to be already at 0.9.6, but
this was an error, and corrected.
Why do you think it depends on 0.9.6?

Yes, it is. Please group problem reports by package.

Bye,
