Collection. One is targeted to the audience of people who wish to
install ports from source and then maintain their system; the other,
more specialized, is intended for ports authors.
These might be good candidates for a "start here" reference for those
new to the ports collection and port maintenance. They might also serve
to introduce more people to fastest-cvsup, pkg_cutleaves, libchk, and
porttools, which IMHO would be A Good Thing.

Changes common to cdrtools and mkisofs:
- Delete targets for mkisofs and friends when building cdrtools and vice
versa to speed up the build of the respective port.
- Respect CC already at the configure-stage.
- Manually replace included copies of config.guess and config.sub with
versions from ${PORTSDIR}/Templates.
- Install relevant READMEs in DOCSDIR (unless NOPORTDOCS is set), some
manual pages also reference these.
- Add a workaround for what appears to be a problem with gmake and certain
locales on -current. [1]
Changes to cdrtools:
- Adjust COMMENT, some tools in this package are for extracting CDs/CD-R[W]s.
- Install scgcheck, a tool to check and validate the ABI of libscg.
- Patch cdrecord to use ${PREFIX}/etc as the location of the global
configuration file, rather than using /etc/default. The installed
documentaion also gets patched accordingly and a PKGMESSAGE reflecting
this change as required by the terms in cdrecord/defaults.c (PR 50835).
- Install a sample configuration file for cdrecord, also install a
configuration file if it doesn't already exist.
- Patch manpages to better correspond to files and locations on FreeBSD.
- Add a knob to optionally build and install rscsi, a tool that allows using
SCSI-devices over the network. The required rscsi user gets added
automatically and templates for the configuration file also get installed.
PKGINSTALL points to for further information on how to configure remote
access to SCSI-devices.
Note that the stock rscsi of cdrtools 2.00.3 has a small security issue,
the fix from the cdrtools alpha version has been added to the port.
- Remove BSD_SCSI_SENSE_BUG from COPTX (CFLAGS) to libscg (see revision 1.48
of sysutils/cdrtools-devel/Makefile for a more detailed description).
- Make the direct ATAPI transport (cooked_ioctl interface) of cdda2wav
(e.g. when used via `cdda2wav -D /dev/acd0`) work on FreeBSD after
ata(4) was GEOM'ifed and the CDIOCREADAUDIO ioctl removed.
- Properly initialise the verbosity level of cdda2wav when the cooked_ioctl
interface is used so it's disabled by default.
- Remove unnecessary patch-ai, this patch for supporting Plasmon RF 4100
originated in the FreeBSD port of cdrtools but the relevant parts were
incorporated in cdrtools-1.10a14.
- Disable the use of mlockall(2) on all version of FreeBSD (see PR 62930 for
a description of the problem).
Changes to mkisofs:
- Add MLINKS for devdump.8, isodump.8 and isovfy.8 to isoinfo.8.
- Install isodebug, a simple tool to display the creation date and the
commandline options used to create a certain ISO-image with mkisofs.
- Remove apple_driver.8, this tool doesn't get installed.
- Unbreak mkhybrid.8 by replacing it with a MLINKS to mkisofs.8.
- Remove patch-bb, its purpose is unclear and there's no indication in the
CVS history why it was added.

JailAdmin is a system for managing a set of named jails. It provides:
- A command line utility for starting and stopping named jails.
- An efficient method for shutting down a large number of jails in
parallel.
- A simple configuration syntax.
- SNMP monitoring facilities.
It is designed to provide more flexible functionality than FreeBSD's own
rc.d/jail script, and should provide a complete superset of features.

Notes: - Since 2.01a26 cdrecord has a new option "-tao" (Track At Once)
for what was the default write mode in previous versions.
Currently, cdrecord still falls back to writing in TAO mode if
no writing mode has been specified but this might change in a
future version (infact, the release notes for 2.01a26 already
say that cdrecord won't burn a CD if no write mode has been
specified).
- Cdrecord 2.01a26 was broken in that it only wrote in TAO mode,
which was fixed in 2.01a27.
For changes since 2.01a25 see:
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/AN-2.01a26
and
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/AN-2.01a27
- Add a workaround for what appears to be a problem with gmake and certain
locales on -current. [1]
- Correct a typo in pkg-descr.mkisofs inherited from the cdrtools ABOUT
file.
- Remove the workaround for the broken mlockall(2) on EOL'ed FreeBSD 5.1.
- No longer compile with -DSOURCE_MODIFIED, the cdrecord sources are no
longer altered by this port except for changing the location of the
configuration file, which is done in compliance with the terms in
cdrecord/defaults.c.
- Make the direct ATAPI transport (cooked_ioctl interface) of cdda2wav
(e.g. when used via `cdda2wav -D /dev/acd0`) work on FreeBSD after
ata(4) was GEOM'ifed and the CDIOCREADAUDIO ioctl removed.
Note: For qualitiy reasons (e.g. to be able to fix/work around broken
TOCs etc.) cdda2wav should be used with its generic_scsi interface
(e.g. via `cdda2wav -D 2,0,0` and using atapicam(4) if you have an
ATAPI device). However, there are some ATAPI devices around where
the latter simply doesn't work (look at e.g. PR 62507 or the audit-
trail of PR 60233 for examples).
- Properly initialise the verbosity level of cdda2wav when the cooked_ioctl
interface is used so it's disabled by default (the outcome of this bug is
actually compiler dependend, with GCC 2.95.4 verbosity is off by default,
with GCC 3.3.3 it's on).
Note: The patches for the last two items where sent to Heiko Eissfeldt, the
author of cdda2wav, and from his replies I was of the opinion that he
"accepted" them and they would be incorporated in cdrtools 2.01a26.
However, they still didn't show up in the cdrtools sources and I so
far didn't get any reply to my email asking if there would be anything
wrong with them.
