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.
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.

Far too many new features and bug fixes to list here. Includes a fix for
Hangul (Korean character) handling from Bang Jun-Young <junyoung at netbsd
dot org>. Thanks.
"Better late than never"
Bump PKGREVISION on everything which installs into the QTDIR tree.
(Applications which just use qt3 shouldn't be affected because each
program using qt3 has an RPATH into both LOCALBASE and X11BASE.)
Qt 3.1 introduces many significant new features and many improvements
over the 3.0.x series. Also lots of bugfixes.
The Qt version 3.1 series is binary compatible with the 3.0.x series:
applications compiled for 3.0 will continue to run with 3.1.
PLIST sorting.
Qt 3.0.6 is a bugfix release. It maintains both forward and backward
compatibility (source and binary) with Qt 3.0.5
Binary compatibility warning: Qt 3.0.6 is backward and forward binary compatible
with Qt 3.0.5, and is planned to be binary compatible with Qt 3.1. Unfortunately
Qt 3.0.5 is not 100% backward binary compatible with Qt 3.0.3 (a class got a few
bytes smaller), meaning executables compiled with 3.0.5 may not run properly
when linked dynamically to 3.0.3. at runtime. Note that this is not a problem on
MS-Windows. Due to its wide distributed in various GNU/Linux distributions, we
have decided to stick with 3.0.5's ABI. If you ship dynamically linked
executables, we suggest putting a QT_REQUIRE_VERSION macro at the beginning of
your main function:
...
#include <qmessagebox.h>
...
int main( int argc, char**argv )
{
QT_REQUIRE_VERSION( argc, argv, "3.0.5" )
...
}
The macro will show a message box with a warning message and then abort the
application gracefully with exit(1).
For a full buglist see the Trolltech web site.
o Enable thread support using pth-syscall and nathanw_sa. The
later has problems which are being worked on.
o Restructure the build of certain plugins so that qt3-libs
comes with jpeg and mng support.
o Introduce a BUILDLINK_DEPENDS_METHOD.qt3-tools variable that
when set to build means we don't get a full dependency on
qt3-tools.
all dependencies on packages depending on "png" which contain shared
libraries, all for the (imminent) update to the "png" package.
