it from installing config files into /etc at pkg install time
(We could do better, save the information and do it later from
the INSTALL script, but I didn't anything ggz-like to work, the
game servers didn't respond, so I don't know how to test it.)
Shared directories can now be created independently by the pacakges
needing them and will be removed automatically by pkg_delete when empty.
Packages needing empty directories can use the @pkgdir command in PLIST.

puzzle games by Simon Tatham.
This package contains a collection of small computer programs which
implement one-player puzzle games. All of them run natively on Unix
(GTK), on Windows, and on Mac OS X; they can also be played on the
web, as Java applets.
Simon Tatham wrote this collection because he thought there should
be more small desktop toys available: little games you can pop up
in a window and play for two or three minutes while you take a
break from whatever else you were doing. And he was also annoyed
that every time he found a good game on (say) Unix, it wasn't
available the next time he was sitting at a Windows machine, or
vice versa; so he arranged that everything in my personal puzzle
collection will happily run on both those platforms and more. When
he finds (or perhaps invent) further puzzle games that he likes,
they'll be added to this collection and will immediately be available
on both platforms. And if anyone feels like writing any other front
ends - Mac OS pre-10, PocketPC, or whatever it might be - then all
the games in this framework will immediately become available on
another platform as well.

What's New in Wesnoth 1.6
We have many new features for your enjoyment this time around,
including a new mainline campaign, two new multiplayer scenarios and
another refresh of the user interface.
For Players
Campaigns
There is a new mainline campaign, The Legend of Wesmere, with new
gameplay features including (in one scenario) the ability to use the
game AI as your commander for an allied side, setting its objectives as
you like. Search for this hidden feature by right-clicking on your
allied commanders during scenario 7. This campaign was imported from
the Wesnoth-UMC-Dev project, where it spent a few months being
adapted for mainline.
Almost all mainline campaigns now use a different method of carrying
over gold from scenario to scenario: the amount of gold retained is now
40% instead of 80%, but it is added to the minimum starting gold of the
next scenario instead of only replacing it if higher.
Many mainline campaigns have improved storyline prose and new cutscenes
or epilogs. Several have improved and redrawn campaign maps. All now
have dates in the Wesnoth history timeline, and almost all have journey
animations on their campaign maps. The history and geography of Wesnoth
have been developed in more depth and detail: More campaigns now
include references to events in the overall history, adding depth and
richness to the narration.
Multiplayer
The multiplayer server can now be logged onto using the username and
password of a Wesnoth forum account. However, registration is not
required and one can continue to use an unregistered username.
The multiplayer lobby has been improved to allow easier management of
the friends and ignores list by double-clicking on the player list.
Notable changes to default era balancing include:
* Increased the cost of the Goblin Spearman from 8 to 9.
* Increased the movement of the Goblin Spearman line from 4 to 5.
* Increased the melee attack of the Goblin Spearman from 4-3 to 6-3.
* Added the traits weak, slow and dim and made goblins each receive
one of them instead of two standard traits.
* Added the marksman special to the ranged attack of the Orcish
Assassin line.
* Increased the cost of the Walking Corpse from 7 to 8.
* Decreased the cost of the Bowman from 15 to 14.
* Decreased the melee attack of the Bowman from 6-2 to 4-2.
General
The game graphics have been improved with a whole new range of unit
portraits. Many more units have full animations and team coloring.
There is a new basic terrain type, coastal reef, which gives most
land-based units slightly higher defense than in regular shallow water,
and 70% defense to most water-based units such as mermen and nagas.
Forests get more variety with graphics for spring/summer, fall and
winter deciduous forest terrains. There are new village graphics for
human cities and primitive tribal areas.
Our composers have added five new original background tracks: Heroes'
Rite, Siege of Laurelmor, Suspense, The Dangerous Symphony and The Deep
Path. Also, the game now plays special music clips for victory and
defeat events.
The game interface has continued to evolve, especially in making more
dramatic use of portraits. Unit recall dialogs now display useful
information about your veterans' traits. Add-ons now display their
category when you browse them on the download server.
New game translations include Arabic, Croatian, Friulian, Latvian,
Macedonian and Marathi. Existing translations have been extensively
updated and revised.
For Content Developers
The map editor was much improved (thank you, Google Summer of Code). It
can be started from within the game now. You can toggle overlay
displays of terrain codes and map coordinates while editing. The editor
can handle multiple maps in a session, and you can take screenshots of
full maps. There's also a new interactive editing tool for animated
journey tracks.
There are some new core units available everywhere: Troll Shaman, Royal
Warrior and Dread Bat.
Less visible changes include improvements in the game AI, including a
new formula-based AI that allows more flexible setting of objectives
and an improved pathfinding algorithm. As usual, WML has grown more
powerful with many new tags and attributes to extend the range of what
campaign authors can do. The GUI engine is under heavy development;
these changes will allow the entire GUI to be configured from WML. The
first steps have been made, but the project is not finished yet and
will continue in the 1.7 development cycle.
The support for writing Python AIs has been removed because the feature
opened a serious security hole. However, we hope to build an even more
powerful AI-scripting feature, possibly using a different and safer
extension language, in 1.7.
Set _TOOLS_USE_PKGSRC.flex so that really the pkgsrc version is pulled in,
the NetBSD base version is too old.
Avoid recreating the .po files because somehow we end up with
msgctxt lines in the files.
All buildfixes, so no PKGREVISION++ for now.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.

gnome-games 2.25.91
==================
This second beta release brings many bugfixes to aisleriot and also many
code cleanups all over the place. Bugs from bugbuddy are now sent to a new
component 'BugBuddyBugs' to help manage the bug flow. The new Gnometris rendering
engine based on Clutter is feature complete, though a few bugs remain to be
squashed. The engine was massively revamped to make it more responsive to
keyboard controls. This rendering engine will be the default in 2.27. For now,
it is enabled with --enable-clutter. Due to limitations in Mesa software
rendering, you cannot currently play this engine without hardware acceleration.
General:
- Send bug from bugbuddy to new component 'BugBuddyBugs' (Jason Clinton,
Thomas H.P. Andersen)
- Rewrite of GamesFrame (Christian Persch)
- Code cleanups (Christian Persch, Thomas H.P. Andersen)

gnome-games 2.25.4
==================
This release brings the beginnings of an implementation of Clutter-based
Gnometris and a few minor tweaks to GLChess.
Gnometris renders with Clutter in an extremely rudamentary way, as a first
milestone on the way to a fully-canvas driven game engine. Right now, it's just
two ClutterCairo surfaces, background and foreground, which are used as
compositors. These two actors will end up staying: background for--eh--the
background, and foreground for display of Pango text. An intermediate layer will
be introduced on which game pieces are actually animated, rotated and exploded.
Sadly, even this stupid way of rendering is faster than the old method.
This pre-alpha 'leaks' memory like gang-busters, also. I do not know if it is
merely a i915 driver bug or something more fundamental. It's not a 'leak' in the
traditional sense: all the textures that are 'leaked' are still reachable in the
i915 driver code. It leaks on the order of 1MB of memory per frame of animation.
This will be fixed either by doing things the Right Way or mitigating i915 leaks
by avoiding the use of texture uploads at all costs (a tile cache).
Hopefully, the final rendering infrastructure will be in place by the next
development release.
Gnometris:
- Implement Clutter-based rendering surfaces (Jason D. Clinton)
GLChess:
- Catch keyboard interrupts in AI monitor process
- Apply antialias setting on new game (Robert Ancell, Bug #565743)

gnome-games 2.25.1
==================
This is the first 2.26 development release.
A huge amount of kudos should go out to Neil for his work on clutter and Thomas
for his work on killing off libgnome.
** ATTENTION **
Gnome Games now optionally depends on clutter. We have run some preliminary
testing of clutter rendering on Intel, NVidia and ATI hardware and are
satisfied with the hardware accelerated state of things with regard those
specific hardware use cases. However, a wide range of graphics hardware still--
in 2008--doesn't have OpenGL acceleration. We have tested software-based
rendering with Mesa 7.2 and clutter and found it a little lacking, even on a
modern CPU.
Therefore, at this time, we recommend that clutter only be enabled by default
by distributors that ensure that OpenGL acceleration is working for hardware
from the three major vendors: Intel, NVidia and ATI.
We hope that in the future, low-hanging fruit in the Mesa software rendering
pipeline can be fixed enabling even software-fallback to work optimally for the
subset of OpenGL functions needed for rendering a clutter stage.
** END ATTENTION **

Last tuesday night I had a dream.
In this dream, Michael Sweet,
frontman of 1980's glam-rock hair-band "Stryper" appeared to me...
except he was wearing a business suit...
and standing on the front lawn of a public library...
and he challenged me to play a game,
a strange game that I had never played before.
When I awoke I knew that I had to program it...
Click on letters to spell out secret words.
Your score will be higher if the distance between letters is smaller

and revised the make install target in hopes of having it work better
with pkgsrc and setgid games (didn't get any feedback on pkgsrc setgid
games, so I took my best shot at it).
* Have different colours for each of the numbers.
* Allow left click on exposed number to clear adjacent unmarked areas.
* Several compilation fixes for portability.
Fix the version test for p5-SDL, so that this at least continues
to build after the recent update of p5-SDL to 2.1.2. Note that
I've only compile tested this with the new p5-SDL; I'm not in a
position to test it more fully right now.
CHEST is an experimental program solving orthodox chess problems
(like "white to move and mate in 5 moves"). It is written in ANSI
C, and developed under UNIX. There is no user interface: CHEST
just reads an input file and produces plain text on standard output.
It is not hard to come up with a program that does the same job as
CHEST, but it will be rather slow for non-trivial jobs. CHEST
tries hard to be fast but still 100% correct.
