changes:
Fixes for compiling on nearly every platform,
including improved 64bit support
MSDOS Support
Add support for sending packets
OpenBSD pf format support
IrDA capture (Linux only)
appearently filtering in ieee802_11_radio packets works now
pkgsrc: enabled IPv6 for NetBSD too
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.
for now we are assumming that:
_LIBPCAP_VERSIONS= 0.8.3 0.7.2
_LIBPCAP_0.8.3= NetBSD-2.99.9* NetBSD-2.99.1[0-9]*
_LIBPCAP_0.7= NetBSD-1.[56]* NetBSD-2.0*
Users of other platforms should update this list eventually.

for SunOS only. Okayed by maintainer, tron@.
(Also this checks for SunOS and /usr/include/netinet/ip6.h for IPv6
support, maybe the OPSYS check can be removed; but this is not
changed in this patch.)
built-in or not into a separate builtin.mk file. The code to deal
checking for built-in software is much simpler to deal with in pkgsrc.
The buildlink3.mk file for a package will be of the usual format
regardless of the package, which makes it simpler for packagers to
update a package.
The builtin.mk file for a package must define a single yes/no variable
USE_BUILTIN.<pkg> that is used by bsd.buildlink3.mk to decide whether
to use the built-in software or to use the pkgsrc software.
as PREFER_PKGSRC. Preferences are determined by the most specific
instance of the package in either PREFER_PKGSRC or PREFER_NATIVE. If
a package is specified in neither or in both variables, then PREFER_PKGSRC
has precedence over PREFER_NATIVE.
BUILDLINK_PREFER_PKGSRC
This variable determines whether or not to prefer the pkgsrc
versions of software that is also present in the base system.
This variable is multi-state:
defined, or "yes" always prefer the pkgsrc versions
not defined, or "no" only use the pkgsrc versions if
needed by dependency requirements
This can also take a list of packages for which to prefer the
pkgsrc-installed software. The package names may be found by
consulting the value added to BUILDLINK_PACKAGES in the
buildlink[23].mk files for that package.
Changes:
Support link types that use 802.2 always, never, and sometimes.
Don't decrease the size of the BPF buffer from the default.
Support frame relay.
Handle 32-bit timestamps in DLPI, and pass the right buffer size.
Handle Linux systems with modern kernel but without
SOL_PACKET in the userland headers.
Linux support for ARPHRD_RAWHDLC.
Handle 32-bit timestamps in snoop.
Support eg (Octane/O2xxx/O3xxx Gigabit) devices.
Add new reserved DLT types.
Enable IPv6 support if /usr/include/netinet/ip6.h exists.
I did not find a way to have a changes summary for version 0.6.2.
Summary for 0.7 release:
- Added pcap_findalldevs() call to get list of interfaces in a MI way.
- pcap_stats() has been documented as to what its counters mean on
each platform.
