FORCE_BINARY, so that just a line feed is written to streams
which will expand it.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is

already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
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.
