2.8.0.5 stuff:
- gdmflexiserver supports --startnew option so that
gdmflexiserver can be told to not pop-up the dialog
asking if the user wants to start a current session.
With this option it just always starts a new session.
This allows running gdmflexiserver from the
screensaver, where the pop-up can't be interacted
with due to the nature of the screensaver.
(Brian Cameron)
- Now gdmflexiserver supports gnome-screensaver if
available, then defaults to xscreensaver.
(William Jon McCann)
- Bug corrected in dwellmouselistener which caused it
to always fail to recognize gestures. (Brian
Cameron)
- Added warning message if gdmgreeter theme supports
face browser but does not have pam-message defined.
(Brian Cameron)
- gdmsetup and gdmphotosetup now only map right/left
mouse buttons to button1 when running under GDM.
When running as user, honor user defaults.
(Brian Cameron)
- XdmcpFill() failure is now logged as debug, since
this happens when the client disconnects from the
XDMCP server before the session was setup.
(Bastien Nocera)
- gdmsetup fixed so when user modifies Include/Exclude
list, the automatic/timed dropdown lists are updated
immediately instead of having to stop and restart
gdmsetup to see the users in the list.
- Correct illegal reference to build directory in
installed .la files. (Stanislav Brabec)
- Removed test that causes needless syslog() message
on Solaris when auditing is turned off. New docs
explaining how to setup autologin on Solaris.
(Brian Cameron)
- Translation updates (Gabor Kelemen, Priit Laes, Kjartan
Maraas, Ankit Patel, Ignacio Casal Quinteiro, Hendrick
Richter, Erdal Ronahi, Satoru SATOH, Francisco Javier F.
Serrador, Alexander Shopov, Clytie Siddall, Tommi
Vainikainen, Funda Wang, Vincent van Adrighem,
Adam Weinberger)
2.8.0.4 stuff:
- Corrected syslog debugging so it works better.
(Brian Cameron)
- Minor fix for clean 64 bit compilation. (Brian
Cameron)
- Fix address of website in README (Tommi Vainikainen)
- Translation updates (\305\275ygimantas Beru\304\215ka,

2.8.0.3 stuff:
- The GDM website has moved to a new location
http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/, and the GDM
mail alias has moved from gdm@sunsite.dk to
gdm-list@gnome.org. README, and GDM docs updated
with the new information and corrected broken link
to the GDM Theme section at http://art.gnome.org/
(Brian Cameron)
- Installation location of gdmphotosetup.desktop
has moved from the deprecated /usr/share/gnome/capplets
to /usr/share/applications (Mark McLoughlin/Brian
Cameron)
- Honor default session when logging in via autologin.
(Hans Petter Jansson).
- Removed spaces in locale name since it caused GDM
to discard the locales. (Frederic Crozat)
- Added missing tooltips (Rodrigo Moya)
- Corrected reading of configuration file in
gdmflexiserver so it works. Fixes corrupted
Session selection dialog presented to user.
(Brian Cameron)
- Correct use-after-free with the dynamic session in
the sessions list, corrects tooltip corruption.
(Joe Marcus Clarke)
- Translation updates (Laurent Dhima, Raphael Higino,
Rhys Jones, Gabor Kelemen, Priit Laes, Kjartan Maraas,
Kostas Papadimas, Ignacio Casal Quinteiro, Francisco
Javier F. Serrador, Alexander Shopov, Terance Sola,
Marcel Telka, Mugurel Tudor, Funda Wang
2.8.0.2 stuff:
- GDM now supports more dynamic configuration. The
gdm daemon supports the --config option which allows
an alternative configuration file to be supported.
The --with-configdir configure option may also be
used to specify a system-wide configuration location
so the gdm.conf file can be located on a mounted
directory. To support machine-specific configuration,
an existing %sysconfdir/gdm configuration file will
override a system-wide configuration file. Refer
to the GDM documentation for more information.
(Brian Cameron)
- New configuration option AlwaysLoginCurrentSession
which will automatically switch the user to their
previous session without asking. This feature is
turned off by default. (William Jon McCann)
- Now Use24Clock setting support "auto" which will
use the system default for date/time formatting.
(Tommi Vainikainen)
- Better backwards compatibility support for Welcome
and RemoteWelcome. If using an old gdm.conf (older
than 2.8.0.0) file that does not have settings for
DefaultWelcome and/or DefaultRemoteWelcome, GDM will
now continue to work as it did before 2.8.0.0.
(Brian Cameron)
- Usability improvements to gdmsetup. "Face Browser"
tab renamed to "User". Now tabs no longer have
mnemonics, since this violates HIG. Fixed broken
sensitivity on the "Users" tab. Improved labels.
(Brian Cameron)
- Support HIG style button layout in gdmlogin.
(William Jon McCann)
- Use GTK+ themed icon stock_person before falling
back to the DefaultFace. (William Jon McCann)
- Usability improvements to the face browser when using
gdmgreeter, now the background behind the userlist
translucent. (William Jon McCann)
- Usability improvements to gdmphotosetup, and now
better follows HIG. (William Jon McCann)
- New selection of face browser images. (William
Jon McCann)
- No longer stat or read face images from remote home
directories. (William Jon McCann)
- New gdmflexiserver command "GET_CONFIG_FILE" which
will return the location of the configuration file
being used by the daemon. (Brian Cameron)
- Now gdmflexiserver command "GET_CONFIG" works.
Previously it only returned a value if the value
was set in the gdm.conf file. Now it returns
compiled-in default values if gdm.conf has no
setting. (Brian Cameron)
- Support DragonFly VT. (Joerg Sonnenberger)
- GDM configure script now Supports TCP Wrappers on Solaris.
(Brian Cameron)
- Many string/grammar improvements. (Tommi Vainikainen,
Brian Cameron)
- Better C89 compiler support. (Jens Granseuer)
- Translation updates (Hendrik Brandt, Nikos Charonitakis,
Pawan Chitrakar, Laurent Dhima, Raphael Higino, Theppitak
Karoonboonyanan, Gabor Kelemen, Priit Laes, Chao-Hsiung Liao,
Kjartan Maraas, William Jon McCann, Ankit Patel, Hendrik Richter,

Funda Wang, Adam Weinberger, \305\275ygimantas Beru\304\215ka
- This release fixes a nasty bug which was causing the
/etc/gdm/Xsession file to always use /bin/ksh. This
caused problems on Linux, where it should be /bin/sh.
It now is only /bin/ksh on Solaris builds. (Brian
Cameron)
- seteuid/setegid logic in the GDM slave logic has been
made more sane. This was causing problems running GDM2
on NetBSD (refer to bug #301821). (Julio M. Merino Vidal)
- Minor correction to Solaris audit logic. (Gary Winiger)
- Updated autogen.sh so it now works with automake > 1.4.
- No longer use C99 features that do not work with gcc 2.95,
specifically do not declare variables except at the
beginning of a block. (Jens Granseuer)
- Corrected configure script so it works with pkgconfig
0.17.2. The new pkgconfig broke the build on Solaris
since it no longer allows the linker to pull in libraries
that are implicitely included. Now all libraries are
explicit.
- References to libgnome removed from vicious-extensions,
so it no longer depends on libgnome. It now depends
directly on i18n libraries. (Andrew Case)
- The gesture listeners now log debug messages to syslog
instead of stdout, and debug can now be turned on by
setting the GDM_DEBUG_GESTURES environment variable
rather than needing to recompile with debug. This makes
it much easier to debug issues. (Brian Cameron)
- Leaks fixed (Kjartan Maraas)
- Corrections to docs (Andrew Case, Martin Petersen)
as the INSTALL and DEINSTALL scripts no longer distinguish between
the two types of files. Drop SUPPORT_FILES{,_PERMS} and modify the
packages in pkgsrc accordingly.
file's sole purpose was to provide a dependency on pkg-config and set
some environment variables. Instead, turn pkg-config into a "tool"
in the tools framework, where the pkg-config wrapper automatically
adds PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to the environment before invoking the real
pkg-config.
For all package Makefiles that included pkg-config/buildlink3.mk, remove
that inclusion and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=pkg-config.
Interface Changes:
- Now gdm, gdm-binary, gdmsetup are installed to /sbin and
gdmchooser, gdmgreeter, gdmlogin are installed to /libexec.
This better conforms to UNIX recommend installation locations.
The gdmconfig and gdmXnest symlinks have been removed since
they were redundant. Distributions will need to modify the
way GDM programs are launched to reflect these changes.
(Brian Cameron)
- gdm.conf and GdmSetup now use the DefaultWelcome and
DefaultRemoteWelcome keys to specify if the default message should
be used. Now the Welcome and RemoteWelcome keys are empty
by default. This is to avoid putting strings that are translated
in the gdm.conf file. Users that want to use a non-default
welcome string will need to ensure that DefaultWelcome and/or
DefaultRemoteWelcome are set to false. (Brian Cameron)
- Now users to be included in the face browser need to be
identified using the gdm.conf "Include" configure option or the
"Face Browser" tab in gdmsetup. Previously, GDM parsed the
system's password file for a complete list of users and excluded
userid's listed in the gdm.conf "Exclude" configure option.
This behavior did not work well on systems that use NIS for
storing passwords. This previous behavior may be turned back
on by setting the gdm.conf "IncludeAll" configure option to
"true". (Brian Cameron)
- xevie Xserver extension is now turned on by default on Linux for
better a11y support.
- /bin/ksh is used in the GDM2 Xsession script on Solaris. Since
this script sources the user's $HOME/.profile, ksh works better
if the profile has bash/ksh style syntax. (Brian Cameron)
Other Changes:
- Fix so GDM works better on BSD and MacOS. Upon getting EOF on
socket/pipe/etc. G_IO_IN is always set and G_IO_HUP may not be
set. Therefore, if a length <= 0 is returned from read(), the
socket is closed. This prevents gdm2 from causing high CPU-load
after logout. (Joe Marcus Clarke)
- Now support "session migration" using DMX. Refer to docs.
(Mark McLoughlin)
- Now support "Dynamic Xservers". Refer to docs. (Bob Terek)
- The background colors used in gdmgreeter's Face Browser in can now
be themed using the <color iconcolor="" "labelcolor=""> syntax.
The Face Browser now shrinks so it is the same size as the treeview
so extra white space isn't shown. (Brian Cameron)
- To better conform to the Usability Guide, gdmlogin and gdmgreeter
now supports an "OK" button which functions the same as hitting
<Return> and a Cancel button which allows the user to go back to
the "Username" prompt without having to enter an invalid password.
(Brian Cameron)
- The Face Browser usability has been improved. Now the user can
select a different face without having to enter an invalid
password. Single-clicking on the face takes the user to Password
entry. The cancel button can be used to get back to "Username"
entry. (Brian Cameron)
- GDM now ships with a collection of default faces installed to
datadir/pixmaps/faces. (Jaap A. Haitsma)
- Support for ratio scaling of SVG images. (Vincent Untz)
- Better left-handed support. Now right and left mouse buttons can
be used in all GDM windows/dialogs/etc. (Brian Cameron)
- Now can use XDMCP from Xnest session. (Leena Gunda)
- Now login success/failure sounds can be selected in gdm.conf or
in the Accessibility tab of gdmsetup. (Andrew Case,
Mark McLoughlin)
- Now "random theme" can be selected in the gdm.conf file or
gdmsetup to allow a different theme to be used for each login.
(Andrew Case)
- Now support background programs that are started after a timedelay
and can be restarted after a delay. Useful for running a
screensaver at login time. (Laurent Birtz)
- gdmphotosetup has been improved so it now scales the face image
to GDM's max icon size before saving it. By default it looks
in datadir/pixmaps/faces to find face images. (Brian Cameron)
- <Control>-U may now be used to clear the entry field. Now <Tab>
works like <Enter> in the login screen. (Brian Cameron)
- gdmflexiserver now supports the GET_CONFIG command, so that other
programs can access the GDM configuration data in a stable fashion.
This is useful for other programs that might want to know what the
system suspend/halt/reboot command is or what the max icon size for
creating gdm2 face images, etc. (Brian Cameron)
- Flexiserver commands are now sent as a single call to
gdm_connection_write or gdm_connection_printf rather than building
commands and sending them in pieces. Fixes bug #158799.
(Brian Cameron)
- Now gesture listener configuration files specify AT programs by
full PATH (default EXPANDED_BINDIR). This can be overridden via
the --with-at-bindir configure option. Since AT programs are
launched as user gdm2, it is more secure to not depend on PATH.
(Brian Cameron)
- Now use more sensible arguments for starting magnifier.
(Bill Haneman)
- gdmsetup Now has a separate tab for configuring the Face Browser,
and for configuring the Xserver. Now the checkboxes for turning
on the Face Browser and XDMCP are on the Security tab. The
Face Browser and XDMCP tabs are insenitive if they are not
enabled. Now users can turn on/off Theme menu choice for gdmlogin
in the Accessibility tab. Can turn on/off debug in the Security
tab. RemoteWelcome is insensitive if XDMCP is not enabled.
Better mnemonics. (Brian Cameron, Andrew Case)
- GDM now no longer uses deprecated widgets. The new file selection
widget is used (which no longer core dumps if you click on the
sidebars). GtkComboBox and GtkComboBoxEntry are used instead
of GtkEntry and GtkOptionMenu (Brian Cameron)
- gdmthemetester now uses gdmwhich instead of which, so it works
better on Solaris. (Brian Cameron)
- Timed login message is displayed in a separate label on gdmlogin
which avoids problems caused because different things were trying
to use the same label for status messages. Reorganized gdmlogin
screen so it no longer should resize as it is being used.
(Brian Cameron)
- The max size of the username/password entry is now set to
PAM_MAX_RESP_SIZE to allow long username/password entry. If
PAM is not set, it is defaulted to 256. (Brian Cameron,
Ali Akcaagac)
- Now dialogs that ask the user if they want to change their default
language/session have a Cancel button so the user can return to
the login screen. (Brian Cameron)
- Theme save remembers where the last theme was installed and opens
to that location. Also fixed bug which was causing *.tar theme
files to not install properly. (Brian Cameron)
- No longer rely on Xserver physical screen geometry which sometimes
causes text to be too big or too small. Now use gdk/pango functions
to get root window resources. (Ray Strode)
- Better sorting of session names in the Session menu. (Ray Strode)
- Remove gdm_debug from signal handlers since they aren't safe in
signal handlers (Mark McLoughlin)
- Many strings, docs, README's have been improved. Better wording,
better grammar. (Brian Cameron, Seb Wills, Adam Weinberger, Abel
Cheung, Kjartan Maraas, Danilo \305\240egan, Nicholas Skehin)
- Many translation improvements. Entries in the language list
now show their encoding so you no longer see what appear to be
identical entries in the language list. (Nikos Charonitakis,
Theppitak Karoonboonyanan, Priit Laes, David Lodge, Jordi Mallach,
Kjartan Maraas, Gareth Owen, Ahmad Riza H Nst, Kostas Papadimas,
Francisco Javier F. Serrador, Danilo \305\240egan,
Alexander Shopov, \303\205smund Skj\303\246veland,
Clytie Siddall, Miloslav Trmac, Tommi Vainikainen, Funda Wang,
Adam Weinberger)
- gi18n.h is used instead of libgnome header files.
(Christian - Manny Calavera - Neumair)
- Some cleanup (Brian Cameron, Mark McLoughlin)
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.
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.
- Enhanced a11y gesture listeners so they support XInput events
for better a11y support. (Bill Haneman).
- Add STRUTS support to gdm2's window manager for better a11y
support (Bill Haneman).
- Improved the way the user's default PATH is set up by configure
so it is set more sanely without redundant PATH's, and is more
careful about not putting symlinked X11 directories in the PATH.
Now can configure user's default directory via the --with-post-path
argument. (Brian Cameron).
- New configuration option to disallow visible feedback in password
entry. (John Martinsson).
- Fix width of "user name entry" to shrink to fit parent widget so
text does not run out-of-bounds. (Chookij Vanatham)
- Restart slave process if XDMCP chooser is selected from flexi
server. (Leena Gunda)
- Make default face obey the MaxIconWidth and MaxIconHeight
configuration settings. (Diego Gonzalez)
- gdm2 slave now sources /etc/environment if it exists. (Vicent Berger)
- Correct gdmsetup's tooltip to conform to GNOME HIG. (Sebastien Bacher)
- Use ngettext for translation. (Christian Rose)
- Set default font size to "Sans 12". (Erwann Chenede)
- Set name of password entry for more friendly a11y (Erwann Chenede)
- Mark "Remove Theme" for translation. (Balamurali Viswanathan)
- Remove <span> tags from language display since they were causing
formatting issues for some users. (Glynn Foster)
- Ensure LC_MESSAGES is set so the user's default language can be
displayed (Hidetoshi Tajima).
- Specify font for username/password entry for gdm2 supplied themes.
(Alexander Kirillov)
- Add Kinyarwanda and Armenian to language list. (Steve Murphy and
petrosyan@gmail.com)
- Correct IPv6 logic so that it supports an IPv4 XDMCP request when
IPv6 is enabled. Fixed configure help for --enable-ipv6.
(Brian Cameron)
- Set more sane Reboot/Halt/Shutdown commands on Solaris. (Brian
Cameron).
- Correct the usage of IFS in the Init/PreSession/PostSession/Xsession
scripts so it works on Solaris. (Leena Gunda)
- Support logindevperm on Solaris for automatic/timed login.
(Brian Cameron)
- Swap Alt and Meta keys on Solaris. (Leena Gunda)
- Correct IPv6 identification for Solaris. (Leena Gunda)
- Cleanup. (Mark McLoughlin and Kjartan Marass)
- Convert to use bsd.pkg.options.mk.
- Fix PAM handling; the gdmaskpass binary seems to be only available when
building with linux-pam, which resulted in broken PLISTs before.
Changes in this version:
- Now using CVS head of vicious-extensions, left out of previous release due
to schedule freeze.
- Do not init the wm twice if gdm_wm_init is called twice. (George)
- Always destroy dialog widget in greeter to fix non-fatal error dialogs from
hanging around. (George)
- Leak corrected in daemon/verify-pam.c. (George)
- Corrected g_strconcat call in gui/gdmsetup.c. (meissner@suse.de)
- Added Afrikaans, Northern Sotho, South African English, and Zulu to language
translations. (Dwayne Baily)
- Updated build files so it can be built and distributed with new buildtools
than 1.4. makedist fixes, etc.
It includes the correct buildlink3.mk file from either Linux-PAM
(security/PAM) or OpenPAM (security/openpam) and eventually will
support solaris-pam. pam.buildlink3.mk will:
* set PAMBASE to the base directory of the PAM files;
* set PAM_TYPE to the PAM implementation used.
There are two variables that can be used to tweak the selection of
the PAM implementation:
PAM_DEFAULT is a user-settable variable whose value is the default
PAM implementation to use.
PAM_ACCEPTED is a package-settable list of PAM implementations
that may be used by the package.
Modify most packages that include PAM/buildlink3.mk to include
pam.buildlink3.mk instead.

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.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".

- Use VARBASE instead of hardcoding /var.
- Patch gdm.conf.in directly from the Makefile using subst.mk, instead of
doing it from a patch _and_ the Makefile.
- Do not register the rc.d script in the PLIST (handled automatically).
- Under NetBSD (and OpenBSD), use /sbin/shutdown to reboot and halt the
computer, instead of reboot and poweroff. The former runs the rc.d
scripts properly while the other two don't.
- Fix cpu/bandwidth eating on idle displays by not blinking the cursor
after 20 seconds of inactivity on anything other then :0, fixes#135764
- In the face greeter cut after a comma in the gecos field if there are
at least two commas since then it's probably some login arguments and
not the name of the user, "fixes" #142274
- Apply patch to make the language dialog at most 600 pixels so that it
doesn't look too crappy on large displays, #142175 (Leonard Michlmayr)
- Fix last_x_failed possible infinite loop on slow machines, #141497
- Fix multihead wanker code in the *mouselistener modules, this confused
the moronic bonobo DISPLAY logic
- Don't use certain languages on the console. Controlled by the
daemon/ConsoleCannotHandle config key, but that's a hack. Oh well,
better then displaying garbage in cjk and similar. "fixes" #135387
- Ensure proper ~/.ICEauthority permissions to fix broken cases such
as gnome-session vs. suid root apps that create root owned ~/.ICEauthority,
"fixes" #137345
- We no longer use `which' command which is horribly broken on some horribly
broken systems and use a private shell version, #133245 (Brian Cameron, me)
- Solaris fixes, #137600 (build), #133245 (chown arguments) (Brian Cameron,

the RCD_SCRIPTS rc.d script(s) to the PLIST.
This GENERATE_PLIST idea is part of Greg A. Woods'
PR #22954.
This helps when the RC_SCRIPTS are installed to
a different ${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}. (Later,
the default RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR will be changed
to be more clear that they are the examples.)
These patches also remove the etc/rc.d/ scripts from PLISTs
(of packages that use RCD_SCRIPTS). (This also removes
now unused references from openssh* makefiles. Note that
qmail package has not been changed yet.)
I have been doing automatic PLIST registration for RC_SCRIPTS
for over a year. Not all of these packages have been tested,
but many have been tested and used.
Somethings maybe to do:
- a few packages still manually install the rc.d scripts to
hard-coded etc/rc.d. These need to be fixed.
- maybe remove from mk/${OPSYS}.pkg.dist mtree specifications too.
are running under NetBSD (I guess other OSes don't need the fix, or need
different defaults). This avoids the X server starting in the first virtual
console, together with getty, causing annoying keyboard problems.
Bump PKGREVISION to 1. Closes PR pkg/19434.

theme in the standard login, fixes#125070 (Muktha, me)
- Hindi was written wrong in the language menu fixes#134372
(Guntupalli Karunakar)
- When restarting a server by whacking it and starting it again, wait
for 1 sec to allow things to "settle", plus be a lot milder on X
server's lock files / sockets to avoid whacking ones currently in use
- Make language dialog in the graphical greeter come up quicker and init
the languages lazily

USE_PKGINSTALL is "YES". bsd.pkg.install.mk will no longer automatically
pick up a INSTALL/DEINSTALL script in the package directory and assume that
you want it for the corresponding *_EXTRA_TMPL variable.
have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.
Fix sed command to disable pam checks to avoid an empy for loop in configure
Add configure check for setlogin(), and use it in daemon/slave.c
Need to define BSD_COMP before including sys/ioctl.h on SunOS to get BSD ioctls.
user who's pw_passwd is set to "*". NetBSD gives all users "*", same if
shadow passwords are used on Linux, Solaris etc. Commenting out that part
makes the face-browser work. (I'll submit this to the gdm-folks, as well.)
Change pid-file from /var/run/xdm.pid to /var/run/gdm.pid now that we have
our own ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/gdm script.
Bump PKGREVISION.
(Changes suggested in PR pkg/17184 by Cliff <cliff at snipe444 dot org>,
applied after feedback from MAINTAINER and tron. This closes said PR.)
Remove `-p' from mkdir arguments, it is already part of ${MKDIR}.
While here substitute a couple of ${PREFIX} by `%D' in
`@exec ${MKDIR} ...' lines and add a couple of missing `%D' in such lines too!

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.
which takes entries of the format <make-definition-name>=<pkgname>. This
has not been added to MAKEFLAGS because (a) premature optimisation is the
root of all evil, and (b) because the .for loop used to implement this
shows the wrong results when multiple prefices are evaluated.
Modify all the package Makefiles to use EVAL_PREFIX, thereby simplifying
them considerably.
ALso simplify the logic to calculate the prefix as well.
package's prefix would not work as part of the environment specification
via MAKE_ENV (as it would not be executed in the correct directory).
Fix this by invoking pkg_info(1) directly, not via an intermediate make(1)
step - this is not as clean, but more effective (i.e. it works).
a bit more user-friendly.
Introduce a show-{gtk+,imlib,kdebase,qt1,qt2,xpm}-prefix target in
bsd.pkg.mk, and use "${MAKE} show-*-prefix" in package Makefiles.
