to regenerate some documentation files, but the regen is unnecessary.
Fix the post-tools target that created a dummy perl -- it was failing
because ${TRUE} may not be an actual executable (it could be a shell
builtin) and thus symlinking to it may not work.
accumulated patches. Changes related to or affecting NetBSD (or
pkgsrc) from the 00DIST file:
4.74 January 17, 2005
...
Updated lsof for NetBSD 2.99.10 and tested it on a
system provided by Andrew Brown <atatat@atatdot.net>.
...
Added BSDI, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD support for the
*effnlink member of the inode structure. This makes
the lsof LTnlink test run faster on all modified
dialects and correctly on OpenBSD.
Added ptyfs support for NetBSD, using modifications
provided by Andrew Brown.
Changed the netbsd Configure stanza to look by default
for system header files in both /usr/include and
/usr/src. (The NETBSD_SYS environment variable can
still be used to select an alternate for /usr/src.)
...
Functionality added or changed:
* The Mac OS X 10.3 installation disk images now include a MySQL
Preference Pane for the Mac OS X Control Panel that enables the user
to start and stop the MySQL server via the GUI and activate and
deactivate the automatic MySQL server startup on bootup.
* Seconds_Behind_Master will be NULL (which means ``unknown'')
if the slave SQL thread is not running, or if the slave I/O thread
is not running or not connected to master. It will be zero if the
SQL thread has caught up with the I/O thread. It no longer grows
indefinitely if the master is idle.
* InnoDB: Do not acquire an internal InnoDB table lock in LOCK
TABLES if AUTOCOMMIT=1. This helps in porting old MyISAM applications
to InnoDB. InnoDB table locks in that case caused deadlocks very easily.
* InnoDB: Print a more descriptive error and refuse to start InnoDB
if the size of `ibdata' files is smaller than what is stored in the
tablespace header; innodb_force_recovery overrides this.
* The MySQL server aborts immediately instead of simply issuing a
warning if it is started with the --log-bin option but cannot
initialize the binary log at startup (that is, an error occurs when
writing to the binary log file or binary log index file).
* The binary log file and binary log index file now behave like
MyISAM when there is a "disk full" or "quota exceeded" error. See
section A.4.3 How MySQL Handles a Full Disk.
Many bugfixes were fixed... see

Industrial Light & Magic for use in computer imaging applications.
OpenEXR is used by ILM on all motion pictures currently in production.
The first movies to employ OpenEXR were Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone,
Men in Black II, Gangs of New York, and Signs. Since then, OpenEXR has become
ILM's main image file format.
OpenEXR's features include:
* Higher dynamic range and color precision than existing 8- and 10-bit image
file formats.
* Support for 16-bit floating-point, 32-bit floating-point, and 32-bit integer
pixels. The 16-bit floating-point format, called "half", is compatible with
the half data type in NVIDIA's Cg graphics language and is supported
natively on their new GeForce FX and Quadro FX 3D graphics solutions.
* Multiple lossless image compression algorithms. Some of the included codecs
can achieve 2:1 lossless compression ratios on images with film grain.
* Extensibility. New compression codecs and image types can easily be added by
extending the C++ classes included in the OpenEXR software distribution.
New image attributes (strings, vectors, integers, etc.) can be added to
OpenEXR image headers without affecting backward compatibility with existing
OpenEXR applications.
two different forks (ayttm and eb-lite). Packaging any of these two could
result on completely different packages than the current ones (mainly because
one uses GNOME2 and the other Qt, and is modular).
Furthermore, IM software tends to get useless as protocols change, so I doubt
these old versions are of any use today. Not to say that they appear broken
on some bulk builds.
No objections in tech-pkg@.
* linux & windows packages are now joined into a single package.
* Improved (and now fast!) gamut checking.
* New virtual NULL profile for building gamut check transforms.
* CGATS.13/IT8 parser now supports multiple tables and other goodies like
specifying flot format.
* More python support.
* New Matlab wrapper
* Revamped icctrans
* Improved jpegicc
* jpegicc and tifficc now can save (grab) embedded profiles.
* tifficc now supports up to 15 channels.
* Improved Lab prelinearization.
* Fixed absolute intent on PostScript CRD
* Man pages for utilities.
* Access to creation & calibration date time.
* Lots of bug fixes

AmaroK is a media player for KDE. There are many media players
around these days, true. What's missing from most players is a user
interface, that doesn't get in the way of the user. How many buttons
do you have to press for simply adding some new tracks to the
playlist? amaroK tries to be a little different, providing a simple
drag and drop interface, that really makes playlist handling easy.
XXX Too much dependencies are thrown in there: create "plugins" packages
or use PKG_OPTIONS framework?
