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.
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.
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.

surrounding the i386 specific "regparm" attribute by
#ifdef __i386__
only minimal testing done on an alpha. Hercules starts up and lets me

"Disabling the O_SYNC option when opening printer or punch.
Change the timeout value from 1 usec to 10 msec in the timer thread.
At least with unproven-pthreads, the comment above that is wrong
when stating that a 1 usec timeout would be stretched to the next
system clock tick.
A minor correction to the computation of the SIO rate.
With these changes, I get a decent performance of the system and can
actually get MVS to run."
Require the fixed version of unproven-pthreads.

Hercules is an open source software implementation of the mainframe
System/370 and ESA/390 architectures, in addition to the new 64-bit
z/Architecure. Hercules runs under Linux, Windows 98, Windows NT,
Windows 2000, and NetBSD. Hercules was created by Roger Bowler and is
maintained by Jay Maynard. Jan Jaeger designed and implemented many
of the advanced features of Hercules, including dynamic
reconfiguration, integrated console, interpretive execution, and
z/Architecture support.
