Changed an expression "one year ago", which is in fact only valid
for a short period of time.
Updated the section about ports. Make this more general, "hundreds of
ports" and give a concrete number of ports (over 710) with a timestamp
"at end of November 96".
I reformatted the "ports" paragraph using fmt, because I think it looks
nicer now in sgml source. So the diff shows more changed lines than was
actually changed. If this isn't suitable for you, then I'll do my best
in the future, to avoid this. My intention was, to make the source look
nicer as well.
now identical with the distributed versions, which may cause some
abbreviations to change for people in obscure zones. (The abbreviations
can be changed again if need be.) It also changes the abbreviation
of Central European Time to `CET' from its previous value of `MET'
(a curious German-English hybrid). Finally, we have finally rid
ourselves of those nasty ZONE-DESCR comments, which were a maintenance
nightmare, in favor of the new zone.tab file. We are not using the
distribution's iso3166.tab file because we have our own list.

Japanese readers and send queries about Japanese handbook to doc@freebsd.org
in Japanese.
Some cosmetic tweaks.
Some improvement in translation.
This change, together with recent change to jmembers.sgml and jcontrib.sgml,
should definitely go into 2.2.
Makefile yet as John needs to figure out ${LANG}-based doc building.
Please put this in 2.2, or the translators are going to kill me. ;)

you have a Makefile without one.
(2) Fix case when user had DISTDIR defined elsewhere and DIST_SUBDIR
is also defined. (Submitted by: max)
(3) Add several popular master sites as variables. For instance,
MASTER_SITE_XCONTRIB is defined to be a list of X11R6 contrib sites,
which you can set MASTER_SITES to in your Makefile if you just
want ftp.x.org or any of the mirror sites.
There is also a new variable, MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR, to specify which
subdirectory of the master site your tarball is located.
One nice thing this enables the user to do is to define the
nearest mirror site in /etc/make.conf. This is especially useful
for continents without a full FreeBSD master site.
Eventually, we will probably split this into a separate file
(bsd.port.sites.mk?), and add some more sites from all corners of
the world.
Right now, XCONTRIB, GNU, PERL_CPAN, TEX_CTAN, and SUNSITE are
supported.
(4) COMPRESS_MAN command alias is replaced by MAN[1-9LN] variables.
You just say "MAN1=foo.1 bar.1" and the make rules will
automatically compress it for you if necessary. (Idea by: obrien)
(5) New "distclean" target to delete distfile too. (Submitted by:
obrien)
(6) Chained dependency cleaning, can be turned off by NOCLEANDEPENDS.

2.2 are more obvious. -Winline is unimportant, but -W gives thousands
of warnings for comparisions. Turning off -W also loses warnings for:
- auto variables clobbered by longjmp. Not much of a problem in the kernel.
- functions returning without a value. I don't like losing this.
- an expression statement or the left side of a comma operand contains no
side effects. Turning this off also stops warnings for the low quality
debugging macros in gsc.c and lpt.c.
Should be in 2.2.
"+=" originally because (as I understand) Jordan used a sed script (or
was it perl?) to edit all the ports Makefiles automatically and he
wanted to make sure multiple CATEGORIES lines (they were inserted
after DISTNAME or something, there shouldn't have been multiple of
them to begin with but that's another story) won't be stepping on each
other's toes.
