FreeBSD's writev(2) implementation is rather unreliable when large number of
vectors is submitted - it returns EINVAL despite the fact that all arguments
are pretty valid. This caused serious problems with GNOME's oaf and prevented
Nautilus from working properly. The problem disappeared when I've replaced
writev(2) call with appropriate loop based around ordinary write(2). Perhaps
this should be investigated and the real source of the problem fixed instead,
but I do not have a time for this right now. For those who interested I'm
ready to provide a step-by step instruction on how to reproduce the bug.

Several people have requested this, so here it is.
This port is intended to track the GAMMA version of the XEmacs
editor.
This is version is based on xemacs-21.4.4, which has a GTK binding.
Note that the GTK support is buggy (at least on my system), although
I haven't noticed any fatal problems, just annoying ones.
There are other bugs in this version, e.g. any attempts to make font
changes in the Options menu result in a Lisp error.
Please do not file any PRs on XEmacs errors, the maintaine will terminate
them with extreme prejudice.
I haven't tested this at all on Alpha because beast won't let me in.
o Security fix for cross-site scripting vulnerability found by
Flavio Veloso (www.magnux.com).
o Fixed a TOTAL_RC off by one error, which would prevent the last
response code from being saved when using incremental mode.
- Remove *-setupel.el routines and scripts/configure.
Because Emacs20 or later has subdirs.el.
- Specify PREFIX, LISPDIR, and VERSION_SPECIFIC_LISPDIR clearly
when port building.
- Install *.el{,c} files to version specific site-lisp directory.
portupgrade, portversion, pkg_deinstall, pkg_glob:
Introduce the configuration file `pkgtools.conf' for the pkgtools
suite. Currently portupgrade(1), portversion(1), pkg_deinstall(1)
and pkg_glob(1) use it.
Add a new option -q/--no-config to avoid reading the configuration
file.
Introduce dependency sanity checks. If an inconsistency is
detected, immediately abort a process suggesting the user should run
`pkgdb -F'.
Add a new option -O/--omit-check to omit the sanity checks.
pkgdb:
Fix the origin guesser's minor bug when the origin port directory
does not exist.
portupgrade:
Add a new option -y/--yes, which lets portupgrade assume user
answers yes to all the questions.
Make sure to ask user where it should. (Get -N and -i right)
Fix a bug where portinstall -i didn't work interactively.

portsdb:
Attempt to offer fast INDEX generation. Now it generates an INDEX
file more than a few minutes faster.
overall:
Emit a warning when pkgdb cannot be updated though it is not
up-to-date.
Finally remove -E/--regex. Use the ':RE' glob pattern instead.
