Shazbot! Setup.y still wasn't right. Maybe this time...
Version 0.9.2
Enhancements:
Global variable and attribute names are now interned.
String literals are only converted to Python strings once, instead of each
time they're used.
Python string literals may now contain NUL characters.

Enhancements:
Inherited C methods can be called in the usual way.
Python classes get the right __modname__ now.
Test suite and testing framework available for download (but will require modification to work on anything other than MacOS X for now).
Plus oodles of bug fixes -- see the CHANGES file for details.
can easily coexist with other Java implementations. This basically means
that they are now installed under ${PREFIX}/java/sablevm and that a wrapper
is created under ${PREFIX}/bin (sablevm-java) to exec this VM.
packages now install several wrappers under ${PREFIX}/bin to run the
binaries installed under ${JAVA_HOME}/bin easily. While here, drop
the direct modification of PREFIX. Bump PKGREVISION to 1.

packages were updated just some minutes ago.

The libstatgrab library provides an easy to use interface for
accessing system statistics and information. Available statistics
include CPU, Load, Memory, Swap, Disk I/O, and Network I/O.
Also part of the package are two tools; saidar provides a curses-based
interface to viewing live system statistics, and statgrab is a
sysctl-like interface to the statistics.
there exists a 'cc', leading to buildlink creating a 'cc' wrapper pointing
to the original 'cc', which then won't work with the gcc flags, while the
'gcc' wrapper does work (since packages simply call 'cc' (or 'gcc') and
rely on buildlink having prepended the path to the right wrapper).
Extended Affix Grammars (EAG) are an attempt to implement a very
general form of Affix Grammars, with very few restrictions. EAG can
be used as a specification formalism, specifying in general relations
rather than functions, or as a relational programming language similar
in many respects to PROLOG.
