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.
New in This Version (2.4)
As I now have five (!) different emulators to maintain in addition to my
academic studies, I expect you, people, to look for bugs and fix them if
possible. Please, submit your fixes and bug reports!

in disconnected slots.

* Added modular FMPAC (aka YM2413 aka OPLL) emulation.
* FMPAC soundtrack can be logged into a MIDI file.
* Sound and MIDI logging APIs have been integrated and rewritten to
accomodate MIDI instruments, dynamic instrument changes, drum usage, etc.

* Fixed cartridge loader to correctly load MegaROMs with "AB" signature in
the last 16kB page (R-Type).
* Mappers #0 and #1 are now renamed to Generic/8kB and Generic/16kB.
* Fixed mapper #3 to have hardwired ROM at addresses 4000h-5FFFh (thanks,
Sean!).
* Added mapper #6 that corresponds to the Konami GameMaster2 cartridge with
SRAM (thanks again, Sean!).
* Added key click and motor relay click emulation via Drum() call.
* Major rewrite of the sound drivers and sound logging system.
* Added mouse emulation to fMSX-MSDOS.
* Added border emulation via VGA border to fMSX-MSDOS.
* Added built-in debugger to fMSX-MSDOS (F11).
* Fixed static palette in fMSX-MSDOS.

* Added static palette to fMSX-Unix.
* Minor fixes to fMSX-Unix makefile.
* fMSX-Windows now runs in 16BPP HiColor mode.
* Changed Setup Panel in fMSX-Windows.
* HPeriod and VPeriod scrollbars are gone from fMSX-Windows as timing control
is done automatically.
* PAL and NTSC buttons are gone from fMSX-Windows as PAL/NTSC switch is done
automatically.
- minor inprovements or modifies.
It is now selectable if use sun-compatible sound or ossaudio by
defining USE_SUN_AUDIO to YES or NO in /etc/mk.conf (default YES)
XXX Though it can be build in both conditions, sound still doesn't
work properly. On my macppc box, if USE_SUN_AUDIO to YES, it
generates continuous hum and nothing changes by play command in BASIC
interpreter within the emulator. if set it to NO, it keeps quiet.
cleanup package Makefile some.
