Changes to the NetBSD Packages Collection in March 2002.
========================================================

[Apologies for the lateness of this summary - agc]

60 packages were added in March 2002, whilst 4 were removed, so
the number of packages at the beinning of April 2002 was 2729, up
from 2673 at the end of February 2002..

The main change to the packages collection, apart from these 60
packages, was the upgrade of png to version 1.2.1. In order to
keep track of binary packages which may be installed, we had to
bump all the "dependent" packages. My thanks to Fred Bruckman
for doing this work. It is also the reason this "changes" report
takes a different format to all the previous ones, since it is more
than 100KB in length.

atlc, bbconf, bbpager, centericq (funny spelling), chrony, claraocr,
