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.
This is a maintentance release. There are no feature changes.
_scrubpkg, which was responsible for eptying out temporary
packages after the module had done with them, wasn't always
working; the result was memory-leaks in long-running
applications. This should be fixed now, and there is a test
in the test suite for it.
Minor changes to the test suite to prevent spurious errors.
Minor documentation changes.
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.

The ->new method now fails immediately and sets
$Text::Template::ERROR if the file that is named by a filename
argument does not exist or cannot be opened for some other
reason. Formerly, the constructor would succeed and the
->fill_in call would fail.
Fixed a bug relating to use of UNTAINT under perl 5.005_03 and
possibly other versions.
Taint-related tests are now more comprehensive.
Tests now work correctly on Windows systems and possibly on
other non-unix systems.
New UNTAINT option tells the module that it is safe to 'eval'
code even though it has come from a file or filehandle.
Code added to prevent memory leaks when filling many
templates. Thanks to Itamar Almeida de Carvalho.
Bug fix: $OUT was not correctly initialized when used in
conjunction with SAFE.
You may now use a glob ref when passing a filehandle to the
->new funcion. Formerly, a glob was reuqired.
New subclass: Text::Template::Preprocess. Just like
Text::Template, but you may supply a PREPROCESS option in the
constructor or the fill_in call; this is a function which
receives each code fragment prior to evaluation, and which may
modify and return the fragment; the modified fragment is what
is evaluated.
Error messages passed to BROKEN subroutines will now report
the correct line number of the template at which the error
occurred.
If the template comes from a file, the filename will be
reported as well.
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE:
The format of the default error message has changed.
Note that the default message used to report the line number
at which the program fragment began; it now reports the line
number at which the error actually occurred.
The automatic truncation in gensolpkg doesn't work for packages which
have the same package name for the first 5-6 chars.
e.g. amanda-server and amanda-client would be named amanda and amanda.
Now, we add a SVR4_PKGNAME and use amacl for amanda-client and amase for
amanda-server.
All svr4 packages also have a vendor tag, so we have to reserve some chars
for this tag, which is normaly 3 or 4 chars. Thats why we can only use 6
or 5 chars for SVR4_PKGNAME. I used 5 for all the packages, to give the
vendor tag enough room.
All p5-* packages and a few other packages have now a SVR4_PKGNAME.
