built-in or not into a separate builtin.mk file. The code to deal
checking for built-in software is much simpler to deal with in pkgsrc.
The buildlink3.mk file for a package will be of the usual format
regardless of the package, which makes it simpler for packagers to
update a package.
The builtin.mk file for a package must define a single yes/no variable
USE_BUILTIN.<pkg> that is used by bsd.buildlink3.mk to decide whether
to use the built-in software or to use the pkgsrc software.
as PREFER_PKGSRC. Preferences are determined by the most specific
instance of the package in either PREFER_PKGSRC or PREFER_NATIVE. If
a package is specified in neither or in both variables, then PREFER_PKGSRC
has precedence over PREFER_NATIVE.
BUILDLINK_PREFER_PKGSRC
This variable determines whether or not to prefer the pkgsrc
versions of software that is also present in the base system.
This variable is multi-state:
defined, or "yes" always prefer the pkgsrc versions
not defined, or "no" only use the pkgsrc versions if
needed by dependency requirements
This can also take a list of packages for which to prefer the
pkgsrc-installed software. The package names may be found by
consulting the value added to BUILDLINK_PACKAGES in the
buildlink[23].mk files for that package.
software instead of any base system version. This match is probably too
broad, but better to err on the safe side. We can narrow down the match
when we have better information.

INCOMPAT_GETTEXT that are analogous to INCOMPAT_ICONV and contain lists of
shell wildcards intended to match against ${MACHINE_PLATFORM}. These
variables are used to note those platforms that have the named packages in
the base system but are incompatible in some way from the pkgsrc version
of the same package. Change INCOMPAT_CURSES to have the same sematics as
above. These variables allow much greater precision in specifying which
platforms have broken (for the purposes of pkgsrc) versions of software in
the base system that must be ignored.
The buildlink.mk files for these packages define private _INCOMPAT_*
versions of these variables, and they contain the default lists of
platforms that are known to have incompatible software bits.
This addresses pkg/17775 submitted by Julien T. Letessier

A bug fix release, addressing various minor issues.
* Fix an infinite segfault loop in 1.0.1 when a directory is encountered
in -f (force) mode.
* Avoid double fclose() of output file on certain I/O error paths.
* Don't fail with internal error 1007 when fed a long stream (> 48MB)
of byte 251. Also print useful message suggesting that 1007s may be
caused by bad memory.
* Fix uninitialised variable silly bug in demo prog dlltest.c.
* Remove 512-MB limitation on recovered file size for bzip2recover
on selected platforms which support 64-bit ints.
* Copy file access times correctly.
* Dereference symlinks when copying file permissions in -f mode.
* Majorly simplify implementation of uInt64_qrm10.
* Check the input file still exists before deleting the output one,
when aborting in cleanUpAndFail().
* Wrapper scripts (with manpages): bzdiff, bzgrep, bzmore.
* Spelling changes and minor enhancements in bzip2.1.
* Avoid race condition between creating the output file and setting its
interim permissions safely, by using fopen_output_safely().
* do not print senseless report with -v when compressing an empty file.
* bzcat -f works on non-bzip2 files.
* do not try to escape shell meta-characters on unix (the shell takes
care of these).
* added --fast and --best aliases for -1 -9 for gzip compatibility.
BUILDLINK_PREFIX.<pkgname>. This allows buildlink to find X11BASE packages
regardless of whether they were installed before or after xpkgwedge was
installed. Idea by Alistair Crooks <agc@pkgsrc.org>.
