pkgsrc. Instead, a new variable PKGREVISION is invented that can get
bumped independent of DISTNAME and PKGNAME.
Example #1:
DISTNAME= foo-X.Y
PKGREVISION= Z
=> PKGNAME= foo-X.YnbZ
Example #2:
DISTNAME= barthing-X.Y
PKGNAME= bar-X.Y
PKGREVISION= Z
=> PKGNAME= bar=X.YnbZ (!)
On subsequent changes, only PKGREVISION needs to be bumped, no more risk
of getting DISTNAME changed accidentally.
This module uses no C-coded parts in itself, but it will try to use
the Compress::Zlib module to read and write gzipped tarfiles.
Archive::Tar will still work without Zlib, it will just complain a
little bit (and, of course, not be able to use compression). The
complaining will be removed when the module leaves the alpha stage,
and can be trivially removed by commenting out the offending print
near the top of Tar.pm.
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.
cabextract is a program that un-archives files in the Microsoft
cabinet file format (.cab) or any binary file which contains an
embedded cabinet file (frequently found in .exe files).
cabextract will extract all files from all cabinet files specified on
the command line
To extract a multi-part cabinet consisting of several files, only give
the first file as an argument to cabextract as it will automatically
look for the remaining files.

version. I've updated devel/p5-Compress-Zlib to 1.14, which was the
level of this version, and removed this package accordingly.
Done this way because there are two other packages which depend upon
p5-Compress-Zlib being in the devel category.
The Compress::Zlib module provides a Perl interface to the zlib compression
library. Most of the functionality provided by zlib is available in
Compress::Zlib.
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.

This package contains two programs:
msexpand, which decompress files compressed by Microsoft compress.exe utility
(e.g. Win 3.x installation files)
mscompress, which compress files using LZ77 compression algorithm. Output
files can be decompressed using Microsoft expand.exe or msexpand(1).

Bicom is a data compressor in the PPM family. It is freely available and
open source. Compression with bicom is completely bijective -- any file
is a possible bicom output that can be decompressed, and then recompressed
back to its original form. Of course, any file is also a possible bicom
input that can be compressed, and then decompressed back to its original
form.
BUILDLINK_PREFIX.<pkgname>. This allows buildlink to find X11BASE packages
regardless of whether they were installed before or after xpkgwedge was
installed. Idea by Alistair Crooks <agc@pkgsrc.org>.
