in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt
which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.
Light blue touch-paper. Run.
1. Add myself as a backup master site (Sourceforge and CPAN ports
already have good enough coverage, so skip them).
2. For all ports that have them, download the PGP signature files.
3. For ports in 2, add a verify target to the Makefile
4. For ports where I was already providing a master site, update the URL.
5. Pet portlint in a couple of places.
Replace libtool 1.3 with 1.5, and adjust pkg-plist to remove
the no longer installed .la files.
Move the htdig.conf file out of the way before install so that
the sample file will get installed each time.
The 3.2.x series contains many enhanced features, most notably
built in SSL capabilities.
Changes for the port itself:
1. Add new MASTER_SITES.
2. Search for an apache binary, not a document directory.
3. The new version uses libtool, so add USE_LIBTOOL per portlint.
4. The new configure script is much more thorough, so use a more complete
set of options, and sort them in "./configure --help" order.
5. CXXFLAGS hackery no longer needed in FreeBSD 5.x, but
6. A patch to include headers for select() is needed in RELENG_4.
7. Install PORTDOCS, especially the very thorough html help files.
8. Add SIZE to distinfo.
9. Make deletion of directories with user-configurable stuff conditional.
security problem that was present in the unpatched 3.1.5.
* Update the master sites list.
* Configure more precisely several important directories, partly to
compensate for some of the new defaults, and partly to avoid potential
future security problems regarding remote users being able to read
files specified as config files. This vulnerability was patched
already, and the fix is included in this version. However, a little
paranoia never hurt anyone.
* Remove the patches, as they have either been made obsolete by the new
version, or as in the pthreads issue, I'm doing them differently in
the Makefile.
* Make the patching in the Makefile smarter.
* Put my name in the pkg-descr.... overlooked previously.
* Adjust the pkg-plist, and sort it since the bloat is the same either way.
Thanks to Palle Girgensohn <girgen@partitur.se> for the suggestion in the PR
to place the conf file in its own directory.

security vulnerability. Quoting from their e-mail announcement:
There is a security vulnerability in all versions of
htsearch between 3.1.0b2 and 3.1.5 . . . The hole can
allow a remote user to pick a file on your system for
the config file that the UID running the webserver
can read.
With a default ports install the httpd user should be nobody, which
makes the vulnerability small.

NOTE: This patch actually patches two files, which is normally frowned
upon. However, one of these files generates the other and really
isn't used by the port, just for people who would use the port
to make their own custom ht://dig. I don't think this is a problem.
[Has anyone figured-out what makes the number 393 so interesting to PW, now?]
I wonder what was going through Jordan's head during his infamous
$Id$-smashing commit.
Before I forget....
