New Entry: Return an error code from upgradepkg if the last (or only) package it tried
New Entry: to upgrade was not installed.
New Entry: Add xfce detection to xwmconfig, and remember previous selection.
New Entry: a/sysklogd-1.4.1-i386-3.tgz: Fixed missing /var/log/syslog err/warn logging in

New Entry: a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.2.5-i386-1.tgz: Fixed timeconfig to work better on

New Entry: didn't update the build number.
New Entry: a/grep-2.5-i386-2.tgz: Compile against the static libpcre.a, since we
New Entry: don't want to have to move that into the A series, and it doesn't make

New Entry: a/lprng-3.8.5-i386-2.tgz: Better config file handling in the install script.

New Entry: xap/fvwm-2.4.6-i386-3.tgz: Added back a bunch of icons that fvwm doesn't

-rootdisks/install.?: Use /dev/sr?, not /dev/scd? which is depricated.

New Entry: Modify rc.M for sendmail, which now requires separately started MTA
-------------------------------------------------------------------
New Entry: Fri Apr 5 22:54:17 PST 2002
New Entry: rootdisks/install.?: Use /dev/sr?, not /dev/scd? which is depricated.
New Entry: Support a new series KDEI for the kde-i18n packages.
New Entry: extra/openmotif-2.2.1/openmotif-2.2.1-i386-1.tgz: Added openmotif-2.2.1.
New Entry: extra/sgml-tools-1.0.9-i386-2.tgz: Fixed missing libostyle.
New Entry: a/gettext-0.11-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled.
New Entry: a/grep-2.5-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to GNU grep-2.5.
New Entry: a/lilo-22.2-i386-2.tgz: Add a warning against installing LILO on the
New Entry: superblock of an XFS partition.
New Entry: a/pkgtools-8.0.8-i386-1.tgz: Enhanced upgradepkg to handle a sloppy package
New Entry: database -- if multiple packages match the old package name, remove all of
New Entry: them instead of a random one.
New Entry: Made xwmconfig a menu rather than a radiolist.
New Entry: ap/texinfo-4.2-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to GNU texinfo-4.2.
New Entry: d/autoconf-2.53-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to GNU autoconf-2.53.
New Entry: (I'm holding off on automake-1.6 until the impact of the renaming of
New Entry: /usr/share/aclocal can be assessed. Really, I'm mostly hoping they change
New Entry: their minds, since it really screws things up for packages that want to install
New Entry: an .m4 file in there to have /usr/share/aclocal-1.6. When automake-1.7 comes
New Entry: out I don't want to be rerolling dozens of packages just to move the .m4 files
New Entry: into /usr/share/aclocal-1.7.)
New Entry: d/bison-1.35-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to GNU bison-1.35.
New Entry: d/gdb-5.1.1-i386-2.tgz: Added gdbserver and docs.
New Entry: d/gettext-tools-0.11-i386-2.tgz: Fixed libgettextlib.la to indicate that the
New Entry: library is installed.
New Entry: kde/: Upgraded to KDE-3.0. (Thanks KDE team for the great work! :-)
New Entry: kdei/: New series for the KDE language support packages.
New Entry: l/audiofile-0.2.3-i386-2.tgz: Moved here from ../kde. Even though KDE 3.0rc3
New Entry: uses aRts, it seems audiofile is still required, and things outside of KDE
New Entry: will require it in the future.
New Entry: l/freetype-1.3.1-i386-1.tgz: Split out of the xfree86 packages. Moved into
New Entry: /usr instead of /usr/X11R6, which seems to help prevent programs from
New Entry: including the wrong header files (freetype2, which is bundled with XFree86,
New Entry: puts its header files under /usr/X11R6/include).
New Entry: l/libungif-4.1.0b1-i386-2.tgz: Fixed libungif.la to indicate that the library
New Entry: is installed.
New Entry: l/libxml2-2.4.19-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to libxml2-2.4.19.
New Entry: n/bind-9.2.0-i386-2.tgz: Added missing rndc-confgen, and patched the install
New Entry: script to run it at install time with the -a option.
New Entry: n/links-0.97pre9-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to links-0.97pre9.
New Entry: n/lftp-2.5.0a-i386-1.tgz: Added lftp-2.5.0a.
New Entry: n/pidentd-3.0.12-i386-1.tgz: Split out from tcpip package, reverted to 3.0.12
New Entry: since 3.0.14 was doing this:
New Entry: in.identd[6698]: Error while changing user/group privileges
New Entry: n/tcpip-0.17-i386-7.tgz: Remove pidentd (now in separate package).
New Entry: x/xfree86-4.2.0-i386-3.tgz: Removed freetype-1.3.1 shared library.
New Entry: x/xfree86-devel-4.2.0-i386-3.tgz: Removed freetype-1.3.1 headers.
New Entry: x/xfree86-docs-4.2.0-i386-2.tgz: Removed freetype-1.3.1 docs.
New Entry: xap/freefonts-0.10-i386-1.tgz: Removed. There were a couple of problems with
New Entry: this. First, it's tricky to install them in the usual (Type1) directory
New Entry: without stomping on the existing fonts.dir and fonts.alias. Second, not all
New Entry: of the licenses are as free as the package name might lead you to think.
New Entry: If you need these fonts you can find them here:
New Entry: ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/
New Entry: xap/sane-1.0.7-i386-1.tgz: Added sane-1.0.7.
New Entry: xap/xmms-1.2.7-i386-2.tgz: Added support for ESD and GNOME.
New Entry: xap/xpdf-1.00-i386-2.tgz: Fixed xpdfrc to not try to load Type1 fonts.
New Entry: xap/xsane-0.84-i386-1.tgz: Added xsane-0.84.
