Also remove some places where perl5/buildlink3.mk was being included
by a package Makefile, but all that the package wanted was the Perl
executable.
And always is defined as share/examples/rc.d
which was the default before.
This rc.d scripts are not automatically added to PLISTs now also.
So add to each corresponding PLIST as required.
This was discussed on tech-pkg in late January and late April.
Todo: remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR uses in MESSAGES and elsewhere
and remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR itself.
under share/examples/rc.d. The variable name already was named
RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR.
This is from ideas from Greg Woods and others.
Also bumped PKGREVISION for all packages using RCD_SCRIPTS mechanism
(as requested by wiz).
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
IRIX:
- add flexibility to PLIST
- add configure arguments to point to openssl if not builtin
- don't use '-print0' to find(1). IRIX' find does not have this capability,
and since we know for a fact that it will not be needed, we can leave it
out in this case.
The rc.d scripts are based on official NetBSD scripts.
This also adds:
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--sysconfdir=${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}
This was discussed and okayed with maintainer, fredb, in February,
Currently, the ntpd.sh rc.d script has a note about the
ntpd_chrootdir is only for NetBSD at this time. (Because I haven't
tested under other operating systems.)
All platforms:
Autokey, using OpenSSL.
IPv6 support.
Bugfixes in loopfilter and refclocks.
NetBSD:
Support for editline command line editing
in "ntpq" and "ntpdc".
NetBSD-current:
Use nanosecond resolution POSIX timers.
* Lose the source port check on incoming packets
* (x)ntpdc compatibility patch

* HP MPE/iX port

HTML docs into "/usr/pkg/share/doc/html".
* ntpd/refclock_oncore.c (oncore_start): Set pps_enable=1, just
like the atom driver does.
From: reg@dwf.com
* ntpd/refclock_nmea.c (nmea_ppsapi): Set pps_enable=1, just like
the atom driver does.
From: Scott Allendorf <sca@newton.physics.uiowa.edu>
* ntpd/ntp_config.c (getconfig): CONF_CLOCK_PANIC was using the
wrong config flag.

refinements since 4.0.99k, a new feature -- an experimental
"huff-n-puff" filter (optionally enabled in /etc/ntp.conf) -- which
discards samples with the highest delays, and new drivers for:
Forum Graphic GPS, WWV/H, Heath GC-100 II, HOPF serial and PCI,
ONCORE, ulink331.
Drop the packages's requirement for GNU readline. It turns out
that command line editing in "ntpq" is not all that useful, as
you can alway let your shell recall "ntpq -c <command>".
repository. Unpatched, the daemon can be caused to segfault by application
of malformed IP packets. Allegedly, this could lead to a root compromise,
but that has not been confirmed on NetBSD. See NetBSD Security Advisory
NetBSD-SA2001-004.
Convert most MESSAGE files to new syntax (${VARIABLE} gets replaced,
not @VARIABLE@, nor @@VARIABLE@@).
By default, substitutions are done for LOCALBASE, PKGNAME, PREFIX,
X11BASE, X11PREFIX; additional patterns can be added via MESSAGE_SUBST.
Clean up some packages while I'm there; add RCS tags to most MESSAGEs.
Remove some uninteresting MESSAGEs.
* algorithmic improvements, bugfixes
* Solaris dosynctodr info update

* Rewrite of the audio drivers
* Driver updates: CHU, DCF, GPS/VME, Oncore, PCF, Ulink, WWVB, burst
If you use the ONCORE driver with a HARDPPS kernel module, you *must*

- - Package builds cleanly (including ntptime) for NetBSD-1.4.1, now that
HAVE_PPSAPI depends on finding PPS_API_VERS_1 in sys/timepps.h, rather
than simply checking for the presence of sys/timpepps.h.
- - Remove dependencies on gmake and autoconf.
Highlights since 4.0.97:
- -Adds listen_to_virtual_ips support (-L flag)
- -Adds support for Trimble OEM Ace-II receiver
- -Patch to run Oncore on systems w/o hardpps()
- -Permit RTS to power a DCF77
- -Assorted lint clean-ups
Highlights:
- - Y2K patches from AT&T: readme, test results, in source directory
- - various portability and configuration patches for Linux, WinNT
This version of the package now requires "gmake", "autoconf", and
"automake" as a consequence of its use of distribution patches.
This requirement is expected to go away with the pending release.
