(using qstat, www.qstat.org)

the RCD_SCRIPTS rc.d script(s) to the PLIST.
This GENERATE_PLIST idea is part of Greg A. Woods'
PR #22954.
This helps when the RC_SCRIPTS are installed to
a different ${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}. (Later,
the default RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR will be changed
to be more clear that they are the examples.)
These patches also remove the etc/rc.d/ scripts from PLISTs
(of packages that use RCD_SCRIPTS). (This also removes
now unused references from openssh* makefiles. Note that
qmail package has not been changed yet.)
I have been doing automatic PLIST registration for RC_SCRIPTS
for over a year. Not all of these packages have been tested,
but many have been tested and used.
Somethings maybe to do:
- a few packages still manually install the rc.d scripts to
hard-coded etc/rc.d. These need to be fixed.
- maybe remove from mk/${OPSYS}.pkg.dist mtree specifications too.

Bump PKGREVISION to 8.
Compile-tested only.
Jabber is an open XML protocol for real-time exchange of messages and
presence notification between any two points on the Internet. The first
application of Jabber technology is an asynchronous, extensible instant
messaging platform, and an IM network that offers functionality similar
to legacy IM systems such as AIM, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo.
This is a complete rewrite of the original jabberd.
by moving the inclusion of buildlink3.mk files outside of the protected
region. This bug would be seen by users that have set PREFER_PKGSRC
or PREFER_NATIVE to non-default values.
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES should be ordered so that for any package in the
list, that package doesn't depend on any packages to the left of it
in the list. This ordering property is used to check for builtin
packages in the correct order. The problem was that including a
buildlink3.mk file for <pkg> correctly ensured that <pkg> was removed
from BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and appended to the end. However, since the
inclusion of any other buildlink3.mk files within that buildlink3.mk
was in a region that was protected against multiple inclusion, those
dependencies weren't also moved to the end of BUILDLINK_PACKAGES.
Changes sinec 0.9.82:
- Fixes to make it compile with gcc 3.3 and Tcl/Tk 8.4.
- Highlight a window when your nick appears in it.
- fix for a bug that causes QuIRC to crash on nicknames longer than
30 characters.
* Make the status icon flash when going to and from away state.
* Show the contact list if it's visible on another workspace when toggling
visibility.
* Make links clickable in logs.
* Handle incoming private chats through group chats correctly.
* An experimental and optional dbus interface.
* Add status submenu to the notification area icon.
* Limit the length of the status text in the contact list.
* Plug memory leaks.
* When detaching a tab, put the new window at the pointer.
* Updated translations (ca, cs, es, hr, nl, no, sr, sr@Latn, sv).
Changes:
0.9.18:
=======
Upgrade release because of couple serious bugs in the 0.9.17. Especially
backup router had stability problems with 0.9.17. This was due to a rekey bug
when performing rekey with PFS, and because of another bug it caused the
backup (and other servers too) to crash. If you are running a normal server
or backup router then ugprading is strongly recommended. If you are running
any kind of server with PFS enabled in rekey, upgrading is recommended.
- Fixed protocol completion handling in connection closing.
- Fixed rekey with PFS to work on backup with disabled connections.
- Fixed CMODE command reply to return the user limit correctly.
- Fixed the watch notify to be called for resuming clients.
0.9.17:
=======
- Implemented the user limit to the CMODE_CHANGE notify and to the CMODE
and JOIN command replies, as defined in the new protocol specs.
- Implemented the public key support to WATCH command, as defined in
the new protocol specs.
- Added asynchronous connecting to remote router/server.
- Fixed the WHOIS public key deleting.
- Several other bugfixes were also made.
o various documentation updates
o ircii now requires an ANSI C compiler (such as GCC) to compile
o new /SET SWITCH_TO_QUIET_CHANNELS that allows SWITCH_CHANNELS binding
to ignore "quiet" channels.
o fixed the --without-emacs-meta-keys option to really be the default
o /hush support in ICB
o new example script ``multichan'' for maintaining multiple server
and channel configurations.
o renamed /ON ICB_MOTD to ICB_CMDOUT and fixed it as well
o removed old "SED" useless encryption
o add /ON TOPIC support for ICB
o builds on solaris out-of-box again
Plugin for IRC client X-Chat which adds an icon in your systray that
flashes when you got highlighted message. Configurable events and
