developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
It includes the correct buildlink3.mk file from either Linux-PAM
(security/PAM) or OpenPAM (security/openpam) and eventually will
support solaris-pam. pam.buildlink3.mk will:
* set PAMBASE to the base directory of the PAM files;
* set PAM_TYPE to the PAM implementation used.
There are two variables that can be used to tweak the selection of
the PAM implementation:
PAM_DEFAULT is a user-settable variable whose value is the default
PAM implementation to use.
PAM_ACCEPTED is a package-settable list of PAM implementations
that may be used by the package.
Modify most packages that include PAM/buildlink3.mk to include
pam.buildlink3.mk instead.
* Add a db1.builtin.mk file that detects whether DB-1.85 functionality
exists in the base system, and remove the distinction between
"native" and the other Berkeley DB packages -- we now refer to
db[1234]. This paves the way for any future databases/db1 package.
* USE_DB185 shouldn't need to be set by any packages -- its correct
value is now automatically determined by bdb.buildlink3.mk depending
on whether we explicitly request db1 or not. By default, if you
include bdb.buildlink3.mk, you want DB-1.85 functionality and
USE_DB185 defaults to "yes", but if you explicitly remove db1 from
the list of acceptable DBs, then USE_DB185 defaults to "no".
* Set BDB_LIBS to the library options needed to link against the DB
library when bdb.buildlink3.mk is included.
* We only add the DB library to the linker command automatically if
we want DB-1.85 functionality; otherwise assume that the package
configure process can figure out how to probe for the correct
headers and libraries.
Edit package Makefiles to nuke redundant settings of USE_DB185.
