out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.
Add INSTALL/DEINSTALL scripts to handle the configure files.
Replace lprng.sh with a rc.d-style script LPRng.sh.
Fix problems with setting the default paths for LPRng.
PPD to /etc/cups/ppd when a printer is added, so now even if the
cupsomatic-ppds are uninstalled, your CUPS setup will still work as long
as the cupsomatic package is still installed.
bug and security fixes, improvements to the efficiency of the server and
utilities, improvements to the documentation, plus the following:
* Security updates - new default configuration does not broadcast
printer information and only allows access from the local system.
* EXPERIMENTAL encryption support - CUPS now optionally supports TLS/SSL
encryption via the OpenSSL library.
* Updated PDF filter to Xpdf 0.91.
* Added PPD files for 9-pin and 24-pin OKIDATA printers.
* Changed all sprintf's that use string formats to snprintf's, even if
the destination buffer is larger than the source string(s); this
protects against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
* Changed all strcpy's to strncpy's between local and global variables,
even if the destination buffer is larger than the source string; this
protects against buffer overflows caused outside of CUPS...
* Added new mime.types rules to allow automatic raw printing of PCL and
ESC/P files; PJL headers are parsed to differentiate between
PostScript and PCL job files. This should eliminate a lot of the
reports of SAMBA printing problems due to the missing "-oraw" or "-l"
options.
* Jobs are now assigned to printers in a class round-robin style. This
should prevent the first server in the class from bearing the brunt of
the jobs.
* The serial backend didn't support the higher baud rates with the old
termios interface. It now supports 57600 and 115200 baud.
* The serial backend now supports different types of flow control;
previously it ignored the flow=XYZ option in the device URI.
* The serial backend now supports DTR/DSR flow control, which is popular
on dot-matrix printers (access with "flow=dtrdsr" in the device URI)
* Added new job-originating-host-name attribute for jobs. The new
attribute provides the hostname or IP address of the machine that
submitted the job.
* Added quota and allow/deny user support for printers and classes.
bugfixes, security fixes, improvements to the web admin interface, addition
of new printer drivers, improved documentation, and improvements to the CUPS
API for client development.
* for jadetex, include the jadetex and pdfjadetex binaries
* for both packages, move the texmf.cnf file around properly, i.e. move
aside before putting the pkgs' file in-place, and move our backup back
after removing it.

if-psprint is intended to print text, postscript, or native printer language
to an arbitrary printer, either connected to a the local unix server, or
remote machine via SMB (if samba is installed).
that depend it, as suggested by wrstuden. The reason is so that older
binary packages which were linked against an a.out shared lib won't have
their package dependencies satisfied by the latest package, which has no
shared libraries. There's no help for old ELF packages, unfortunately.
* should not cause any conflicts with the new bulk-package targets,
* didn't contain a reason for why they were disabled or
* were disabled for some false reason (and a IGNORE/BROKEN in the pkg's
Makefile would be more appropriate)
