New for version 2.7.1:
- CVE-2017-7467: Fix an out of bounds data access that
can lead to remote code execution. This issue was found
by Solar Designer of Openwall during a security audit of
the Virtuozzo 7 product, which contains derived downstream
code in its prl-vzvncserver component. The corresponding
Virtuozzo 7 fix is: 6d95404e75
Openwall would like to thank the Virtuozzo company for
funding the effort.
The find-prefix infrastructure was required in a pkgviews world where
packages installed from pkgsrc could have different installation
prefixes, and this was a way for a dependency prefix to be determined.
Now that pkgviews has been removed there is no longer any need for the
overhead of this infrastructure. Instead we use BUILDLINK_PREFIX.pkg
for dependencies pulled in via buildlink, or LOCALBASE/PREFIX where the
dependency is coming from pkgsrc.
Provides a reasonable performance win due to the reduction of `pkg_info
-qp` calls, some of which were redundant anyway as they were duplicating
the same information provided by BUILDLINK_PREFIX.pkg.
Existing SHA1 digests verified, all found to be the same on the
machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). Existing SHA1
digests retained for now as an audit trail.

- Fix buffering for funny sample formats (namely, 24 bit), that do not
fit nicely into 32768 bytes. Effect was a nasty endless loop where
mpg123 needs to be externally killed.
1.22.1
---
- Fix mpg123-id3dump when writing images with funny (manipulated) MIME type.
Stupid mistake in length computation of the fallback file extension caused
junk from memory being appended to the filename if the pointer size
is less than 64 bit. For 64 bit pointers (or longer) it was correct by
accident.
- Fix pedantic build by cleaning up out123 source, also now really showing
the encoding list in --longhelp instead of possibly, again, writing junk
from memory in there.
- Not linking libmpg123 against libltdl anymore (bug 215).
- Update MSVC++ ports a bit to make them work again.
- Alternative hex output (to be improved)
- Print creation date of serial device file (if < 20 hrs), useful for
identifying just plugged in USB-Serial adapters
- Support ':' (colon) in device path names. Note, that this changes old
behaviour which used ':' as a device path delimiter.
- Several language updates.

the owner of all installed files is a non-root user. This change
affects most packages that require special users or groups by making
them use the specified unprivileged user and group instead.
(1) Add two new variables PKG_GROUPS_VARS and PKG_USERS_VARS to
unprivileged.mk. These two variables are lists of other bmake
variables that define package-specific users and groups. Packages
that have user-settable variables for users and groups, e.g. apache
and APACHE_{USER,GROUP}, courier-mta and COURIER_{USER,GROUP},
etc., should list these variables in PKG_USERS_VARS and PKG_GROUPS_VARS
so that unprivileged.mk can know to set them to ${UNPRIVILEGED_USER}
and ${UNPRIVILEGED_GROUP}.
(2) Modify packages to use PKG_GROUPS_VARS and PKG_USERS_VARS.
* ${UUCP_USER} should have a default group membership of ${UUCP_GROUP},
not dialer.
* Get the correct install locations for lrzsz and gkermit and use them
to locate the binaries from those dependencies in src/rwconf.c.
Bump PKGREVISION to 3 due to changed users and groups.
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
Too many Changes to list here (Changelog is too long), so only whats new in 2.1:
- applied some pending patches (see ChangeLog for a complete list)
- added support for socket connections
- fixed compiling issues on Solaris
- new maintainer: Adam Lackorzynski
- new homepage: http://minicom.alioth.debian.org/
- new mailinglists (-devel and -announce):

NetBSD patches:
- Include <sys/types.h> to fix PR pkg/29026 (1st error)
- Fix i18n error for PR pkg/29939, which should also fix PR pkg29026 (2nd error)
- Remove the create-dev-link script, which fix PR pkg/29026 (3rd error)
The system administrator is expected to setup the correct configuration
of the modem device.
- Updated patches and removed patch-af and patch-ag
- Fix the path for the lrzsz and gkermit tools in the default configuration
- Remove the old share/doc/minicom dir, because the new Makefiles doesn't
install them and they are outdated
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)

installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
