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.
From CHANGES:

Sigh. More AIX wonderfulness.
Document updates.

pcap_list_datalinks(), pcap_set_datalink(),
pcap_lib_version(), pcap_datalink_val_to_name(),
pcap_datalink_name_to_val(), new error returns.
for SunOS only. Okayed by maintainer, tron@.
(Also this checks for SunOS and /usr/include/netinet/ip6.h for IPv6
support, maybe the OPSYS check can be removed; but this is not
changed in this patch.)
Changes:
Support link types that use 802.2 always, never, and sometimes.
Don't decrease the size of the BPF buffer from the default.
Support frame relay.
Handle 32-bit timestamps in DLPI, and pass the right buffer size.
Handle Linux systems with modern kernel but without
SOL_PACKET in the userland headers.
Linux support for ARPHRD_RAWHDLC.
Handle 32-bit timestamps in snoop.
Support eg (Octane/O2xxx/O3xxx Gigabit) devices.
Add new reserved DLT types.
Enable IPv6 support if /usr/include/netinet/ip6.h exists.
I did not find a way to have a changes summary for version 0.6.2.
Summary for 0.7 release:
- Added pcap_findalldevs() call to get list of interfaces in a MI way.
- pcap_stats() has been documented as to what its counters mean on
each platform.
The automatic truncation in gensolpkg doesn't work for packages which
have the same package name for the first 5-6 chars.
e.g. amanda-server and amanda-client would be named amanda and amanda.
Now, we add a SVR4_PKGNAME and use amacl for amanda-client and amase for
amanda-server.
All svr4 packages also have a vendor tag, so we have to reserve some chars
for this tag, which is normaly 3 or 4 chars. Thats why we can only use 6
or 5 chars for SVR4_PKGNAME. I used 5 for all the packages, to give the
vendor tag enough room.
All p5-* packages and a few other packages have now a SVR4_PKGNAME.
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.
first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).
Patch by Alistair Crooks <agc@netbsd.org>
- New Linux libpcap implementation, which, in 2.2 and later
kernels, uses PF_PACKET sockets and supports kernel packet
filtering (if compiled into the kernel), and supports the "any"
device for capturing on all interfaces. Cleans up promiscuous
mode better on pre-2.2 kernels, and has various other fixes
(handles 2.4 ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR, handles ISDN devices better,
doesn't show duplicate packets on loopback interface, etc.).
- Fixed HP-UX libpcap implementation to correctly get the PPA for
an interface, to allow interfaces to be opened by interface name.
- libpcap savefiles have system-independent link-layer type values
in the header, rather than sometimes platform-dependent DLT_
values, to make it easier to exchange capture files between
different OSes.
- Non-standard capture files produced by some Linux tcpdumps, e.g.
the one from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and later, can now be read.
- Updated autoconf stock files.
- Filter expressions can filter on VLAN IDs and various OSI
protocols, and work on Token Ring (with non-source-routed
packets).
- "pcap_open_dead()" added to allow compiling filter expressions
to pcap code without opening a capture device or capture file.
- Header files fixed to allow use in C++ programs.
- Removed dependancy on native headers for packet layout.
Removed Linux specific headers that were shipped.
- Security fixes: Strcpy replaced with strlcpy, sprintf replaced
with snprintf.
- Fixed bug that could cause subsequent "pcap_compile()"s to fail
erroneously after one compile failed.
- Assorted other bug fixes.
- README.aix and README.linux files added to describe
platform-specific issues.
- "getifaddrs()" rather than SIOCGIFCONF used, if available.
Solaris, narrow down the platforms, and use specific inclusion rather
than disclusion: mark them as ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM=SunOS-*-*, rather
than NOT_FOR_PLATFORM=NetBSD-*-*.
