- update: For submitting non-maintainer updates/changes
- maintainer-update: For submitting maintainer updates/changes
The intent is to make it easier to spot maintainer sactioned or submitted
updates to ports though it might also be useful for userland code that is
maintained by someone that is not a FreeBSD committer.

specific changes into the original distribution (although sometimes
with a slightly different approach) and to add two commandline
options to send-pr(1):
-c which allows you to specify an address to CC this
PR to
-s allow the severity to be specified on the commandline

when using the egcs and gcc-devel ports, along with GCC built from stock
public FSF sources. With out this change, FreeBSD will be removed from
the list of systems GCC 3.0 must be evaluated on before release. With
the effort some of us put into getting FreeBSD on this list, we should
not turn this effort into a waste, else we might not be worth fighting
for in the future. (note that Alpha and IA-64 versions of crt{i,n}.S
are needed)
* Switch from our own crt{begin,in} to those created from GCC's crtstuff.c.
This will allow us to switch to DWARF2 exceptions in the future, along with
staying in sync with any future GCC requirements.
* Break out our ELF branding bits into a seperate file. Currently this
is now included by our crt1.c files (since this functionality was part of
our native crtbegin.c). Later crtbrand.o will be merged in the creation
of crti.o.
with Brian's kernel support for i386 debug registers. This makes
watchpoints actually usable for real-life problems. Note: you can
only set watchpoints on 1-, 2- or 4-byte locations, gdb automatically
falls back to [sloooow] software watchpoints when attempting to use
them on variables which don't fit into this category. To circumvent
this, one can use the following hack:
watch *(int *)0x<some address>
David O'Brien is IMHO considering to get this fully integrated into the
official GDB, but as long as we've got the i386/* files sitting around
in our private FreeBSD tree here, the feature can now be tested more
extensively, so i'm committing this for the time being.
This work has been done in order to debug a tix toolkit problem, thus
it has been sponsored by teh Deutsche Post AG.

ENABLE_SUIDPERL is set to true. When perl is updated to remove the
fork mail code, additional warnings will enable the users to know what
is gonig on and how to correct it. Markm will make those commits as
part of his perl patch integration. suidperl is installed with
execute permissions so that markm's added error messages wil be seen
by the user.
Previously, using -S/--skip, -f/--force, or -t/--batch to skip a patch in
a patchset still registers a failure which causes patch to return a
non-zero exit code. This is particularly undesirable with regards to
ports as there is no way to ignore the non-zero code. (Luckily, we don't
currently have any ports that make use of any of these options.)
The PR (yes, my own) is slightly incorrect: It states that -f does indeed
properly skip patches. It does, but it still sets the failure flag causing
patch to return non-zero.

1) (Biggest) I tried long-and-hard to keep the version number (5.006)
backwards compatible with FreeBSD; I have lost this battle, and
must defer to the Perl convention (5.6.0). Victims include suidperl.
this means that dirs with a name of 5.006 will be replaced with
dirs named 5.6.0 in both /usr/libdata/perl and /usr/local/lib/perl.
2) Errno module is added.
3) Alpha bits extensively tweeked after a Beast-build.
Other commits to follow.
