The makefile uses uname -m to decide which programs to build on i386 vs.
x86_64 (and then builds the same programs on both, but thats a different
story). Teach it about i86pc, which is what SunOS usually returns on an
x86 machine.

Enhancements in v4.0 (28/Mar/2011)
* Support for testing with multiple CPUs. All tests except for #11 (Bit Fade)
have been multi-threaded. A maximum of 16 CPUs will be used for testing.
* CPU detection has been completely re-written to use the brand ID string rather
than the cumbersome, difficult to maintain and often out of date CPUID family
information. All new processors will now be correctly identified without
requiring code support.
* All code related to controller identification, PCI and DMI has been removed.
This may be a controversial decision and was not made lightly. The following
are justifications for the decision:
1. Controller identification has nothing to do with actual testing of memory,
the core purpose of Memtest86.
2. This code needed to be updated with every new chipset. With the ever
growing number of chipsets it is not possible to keep up with the changes.
The result is that new chipsets were more often than not reported
in-correctly. In the authors opinion incorrect information is worse
than no information.
3. Probing for chipset information carries the risk of making the program
crash.
4. The amount of code involved with controller identification was quite
large, making support more difficult.
Removing this code also had the unfortunate effect of removing reporting of
correctable ECC errors. The code to support ECC was hopelessly intertwined the
controller identification code. A fresh, streamlined implementation of ECC
reporting is planned for a future release.
* A surprising number of conditions existed that potentially cause problems when
testing more than 4 GB of memory. Most if not all of these conditions have
been identified and corrected.
* A number of cases were corrected where not all of memory was being tested. For
most tests the last word of each test block was not tested. In addition an
error in the paging code was fixed that omitted from testing the last 256
bytes of each block above 2 GB.
* The information display has been simplified and a number of details that were
not relevant to testing were removed.
* Memory speed measurement has been parallelized for more accurate reporting for
multi channel memory controllers.
* This is a major re-write of the Memtest86 with a large number of minor
bug-fixes and substantial cleanup and re-organization of the code.

4.6.4 released on 21-MAY-2011
Problems fixed:
* Name completion did not expand a single tilde as a home
directory.
* A mouseclick on a certain screen area of the help panel
could lead to a crash.
New or improved functionality:
* The English documentation was proofread and corrected,
the service was kindly contributed by Richard Harris.
* Text file preview function was added.
* The initial working directory for the secondary file
panel is now set by a bookmark named DIR2. This
replaces the configuration parameter DIR2.
* The initial working directory for the primary file
panel can be now set by a bookmark named DIR1.
* New configuration parameter TIME_DATE controls the
display of date and time.
* Changes to the mouse control were made.
* The recommendation against using alt-R for normal file
renaming was dropped.
4.5 released on 24-SEP-2009
Problems fixed:
* Name completion could not complete user and group names
containing a dot, comma or a dash character.
New or improved functionality:
* A mouse is supported on xterm-compatible terminals.
* The location of configuration files has been moved
again in order to comply with the XDG Specification.
The standard place for these files is from now on the
~/.config/clex directory. Use the 'cfg-clex' utility to
move the files to the new location.
* There is a new option in the completion panel which
allows completion of a name which is a part of a longer
word. The option has a self-explaining description:
'name to be completed starts at the cursor position'.
* Configuration parameter C_PANEL_SIZE (completion panel
size) cannot be set to AUTO (screen size) because this
size is often uncomfortably small.
* The Unicode soft hyphen character is displayed as a
control character.
* In the history panel a command separator is
automatically inserted into the input line when a
command is appended to the end of another command.
* Configuration parameters CMD_Fn accept a new control
sequence $~ which disables the 'Press enter to
continue' prompt. The control is returned to CLEX
immediately after the command execution terminates
provided that:
* the command has not been modified; and
* the command terminates successfully (exit code
zero).
* The $! control sequence can appear anywhere in a
configuration parameter CMD_Fn, not only at the end.
* New function: alt-Z places the current line to the
center of the panel. People using cluster-ssh might
find it useful.
4.4 released on 07-APR-2009
Problems fixed:
* In the help text there were few UTF-8 characters which
are now eliminated because they could not be displayed
properly in non-UTF-8 encodings.
New or improved functionality:
* New function was added: change into a subdirectory
showing the contents in the other file panel (alt-X).
This function allows a return into the original
directory simply by switching panels (ctrl-X).
4.3 released on 29-MAR-2009
Problems fixed:
* A newly added bookmark did not appear on the screen
immediately.
* A misleading message 'Ignoring the DIR2 configuration
parameter' was logged when the 'DIR2' was set to
'HOME'.
New or improved functionality:
* The bookmark organizer has been merged with the regular
bookmark panel.
* Bookmarks can have descriptive names.
* The current working directory can be bookmarked from
the file panel (ctrl-D).
* The 'B_PANEL_SIZE' config parameter was removed.
4.2 released on 15-MAR-2009
Problems fixed:
* In some cases the 'cfg-clex' utility was generating an
unusable template for the copy command (F5).
* Under certain circumstances a crash was occurring on
exit when CLEX was used over a ssh connection.
New or improved functionality:
* All configuration files now reside in the .clex
subdirectory. Use the 'cfg-clex' utility to move the
files to new location.
4.1 released on 09-FEB-2009
Problems fixed:
* Usage of uninitialized memory during the start-up has
been corrected. It caused a crash on the Apple Mac OS X
platform. Systems where CLEX starts normally are not
affected by this bug.
* A compilation problem on Apple Mac OS X was fixed.
* The xterm title change feature did not work on remote
telnet or ssh connections.
New or improved functionality:
* If a directory comparison is restricted to regular
files, then only information about this type of file is
displayed in the summary.
* A small program named 'kbd-test' was added. It is a
utility for
CLEX 4.0 released on 22-DEC-2008
This is the initial release of the CLEX 4 branch. Main new
features are:
* Unicode support was implemented.
* Several configuration parameters have been converted to options
which are saved automatically.
* The log panel and optional logging to a file for auditing and
troubleshooting were added.
* There is now 'cfg-clex' utility.
* A built-in function for renaming files with invalid or
unprintable characters was added.
Enhancements (compared to previous releases) include:
* Configuring prompt, time format and date format is more flexible.
* The help is not limited to one link per line.
* The user interface of the directory compare function was redesigned.
* Changes in the pattern matching routine were made
* Panel filtering is now available in two more panels.
* A new tool for inserting control characters into the input line
was added.
parsing for L2CAP packets, new parsing for AVCTP and AVRCP
protocols, some endian bugfixes and the archive now contains
the files needed from bluez-libs so we don't need to get that
separately.
pkgsrc changes:
- Adjust dependency chain. Now depends on security/py-ssh instead of
security/py-paramiko.
Upstream changes:
The main new feature in Fabric 1.3.x is parallel tasks execution support
(invoked by fab -P).
Releases at the same time in the 1.2.x and 1.3.x branches, including the
same bugfixes.
Changes since the latest release in the 1.2.x branch (1.2.5), included in
branch 1.3:
2012-01-12: released Fabric 1.3.4
[Bug] #492: @parallel did not automatically trigger linewise output, as was
intended. This has been fixed. Thanks to Brandon Huey for the catch.
[Bug] #510: Parallel mode is incompatible with user input, such as
password/hostname prompts, and was causing cryptic Operation not supported
by device errors when such prompts needed to be displayed. This behavior
has been updated to cleanly and obviously abort instead.
[Bug] #494: Fixed regression bug affecting some env values such as env.port
under parallel mode. Symptoms included rsync_project bailing out due to a
None port value when run under @parallel. Thanks to Rob Terhaar for the
report.
[Bug] #339: Don't show imported colors members in --list output. Thanks to
Nick Trew for the report.
- Blu-ray support
- added CD raw reading and majority algorithm
- C2 scanning support for CD media
- changed treatment of CRC failures: old behaviour was to
store a defective sector marker; now the actual sector
contents are written to the image file.
- Using the CDROM_SEND_PACKET ioctl() will hang parallel
SCSI adapters. Added tests to determine the SCSI bus type,
and switch to the SG_IO ioctl() when in doubt. [Linux]
- fixed and documented -n command line options for RS02.
Heap-based buffer overflow in the process_tx_desc function in the
e1000 emulation allows the guest to cause a denial of service (QEMU
crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted legacy mode
packets.
Bump PKGREVISION
from qemu upstream:
Fill in word 64 of IDENTIFY data to indicate support for PIO modes 3 and 4.
This allows NetBSD guests to use UltraDMA modes instead of just PIO mode 0.
With this patch I can no longer reproduce PR 42455.
Bump package revision.
so define it if it is not defined.
No bump, since this only changes a case where the package did not build.
Also, for the record, this version does not include the code vulnerable
to http://secunia.com/advisories/44104/ as that feature is not yet here.
