Automatic conversion of the NetBSD pkgsrc CVS module, use with care
- Updated Swedish translation (Christian Rose). - Updated Russian translation (Anton Farygin). - Added Latvian translation (Artis Trops). - Made a work-around for a refresh glitch when delinking a tab under gnome (the topic bar was overlapped). - Fixed the need for signed chars (e.g. on PPC and s390). - Fixed background garbage being drawn when using hidden tabs. - Cleaned up alot of the nick completion code. Fixed some behaviour too (Mukund, dinkles, me). - Connect Cmd is executed again if you get auto-reconnected. - Added safe-gaurd to stop duplicate nicks in userlist. - Added an option to automatically remove finished/failed dccs from the list. Use /set dcc_remove ON to enable it. - Added an option to truncate long channel tabs. Use: /set truncchans xx, where xx is the max chars (Jyrki Muukkonen). - Made the default popup menu, dialog buttons, userlist buttons, usermenu and urlhandlers translatable (via gettext). - MMX tinting is now built on any x86 machine (it's checked at runtime anyway). - Added "Automatic Unmark Away" option in setup->away (Mads Martin). - Immediately abort file transfers when out of space. - Fixed a serious CTCP reply vulnerability (Hanno Hecker). - Updated Danish translation (Morten Brix Pedersen). - Updated Spanish translation (Antonio de la Torre). - Updated French translation (Olivier Berger). - The server "Connect cmd" is now executed before auto-join-channels, so you can use it to authenticate to nickserv etc. - Fixed autoresume again, for the last time... no, really. - Fixed sending parts for all channels instead of one quit when you exit the whole program (helps bncs). - Autocomplete in the middle of a sentence won't jump to the end of the textbox (Darell Tan). - Fixed the buggy 1.8.5 outbound queue. It now sends privmsg/notice with a lower priority, but never out-of-order. - Updated Slovak translation (Stano Visnovsky). - Updated Swedish translation (Christian Rose). - Updated Spanish translation (Antonio de la Torre). - Updated Hebrew translation (Dan Fruehauf). - Some fixes to the MODE parser. - Added ability to customize dialog tab buttons (Oskar Liljeblad). - Added an extra field in the EditServer window to enter a command to execute after logging in. - /load -e <file> can now load a file of commands to execute. - Added ability to change the log timestamp format (Jyrki Muukkonen). - Fixed default keybinding for Shift-PageUp (Mukund). - Changed the outbound throttle behaviour. Now only privmsgs and notices go to the back of the queue, everything else goes to the front. - Made it possible to compile with older than 5.6 perl again. - The main window's size and position is now saved on exit. Use /set mainwindow_save OFF to revert to the old behaviour. - Avoid auto-resuming the same file from two different people (without breaking autoresume this time). - Removed /sslserver and added a -ssl arg to /server, /reconnect, /servchan and /newserver. - Added support for /server irc://host:port/channel. - Added some mmx asm code written by Willem Monsuwe for tinting transparency. Use --disable-mmx to revert to gdk-pixbuf method. - Fixed resetting your away status after an auto-reconnect. - Updated Spanish translation (Antonio de la Torre and Manuel García Aguilar). - Updated Russian translation (Valek Filippov). - Fixed lockup when a file being offered is shortened before being accepted. - Fixed ** ERROR **: file python.c: line 743 (pysH_Eget_users): assertion failed: (cur->hostname). - /kickban now deops and bans in one line (-o+b) (Felix Nawothnig). - Auto-nickcompletion now uses the nicksuffix setting (Mukund). - win32: change log-filenames with a | character to _. - When binding to a set hostname/ip, it would try to bind to port 65535 - fixed. - Fixed crash when closing a dcc chat in a perl-dcc-chat-callback. - Added option "Beep on Channel Messages" and a Beep button to the toolbox ("<" button in the botton right) (Jason Wies). - Avoid auto-resuming the same file from two different people. - /close -m now closes all dialog/query windows. |

$NetBSD: README,v 1.13 2001/12/03 21:33:56 agc Exp $ Welcome to the NetBSD Packages Collection ========================================= In brief, the NetBSD Packages Collection is a set of software utilities and libraries which have been ported to NetBSD. The packages collection software can retrieve the software from its home site, assuming you are connected in some way to the Internet, verify its integrity, apply any patches, configure the software for NetBSD, and build it. Any prerequisite software will also be built and installed for you. Installation and de-installation of software is managed by the packaging utilities. The packages collection is made into a tar_file every week: ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tar.gz and you can sup the pkgsrc tree using the `pkgsrc' name for the collection. The pkgsrc tree is laid out in various categories, and, within that, the various packages themselves. You need to have root privileges to install packages. We are looking at ways to remove this restriction. + To install a package on your system, you need to change into the directory of the package, and type "make install". + If you've made a mistake, and decided that you don't want that package on your system, then type "pkg_delete <pkg-name>", or "make deinstall" while in the directory for the package. + To find out all the packages that you have installed on your system, type "pkg_info". + To remove the work directory, type "make clean", and "make clean-depends" will clean up any working directories for other packages that are built in the process of making your package. + Optionally, you can periodically run "make clean" from the top level pkgsrc directory. This will delete extracted and built files, but will not affect the retreived source sets in pkgsrc/distfiles. + You can set variables to customise the behaviour (where packages are installed, various options for individual packages etc), by setting variables in /etc/mk.conf. The pkgsrc/mk/bsd.pkg.defaults.mk gives the defaults which are used in pkgsrc. This file can be used as a guide to set values in /etc/mk.conf - it is only necessary to set values where they differ from the defaults. The best way to find out what packages are in the collection is to move to the top-level pkgsrc directory (this will usually be /usr/pkgsrc), and type "make readme". This will create a file called README.html in the top-level pkgsrc directory, and also in all category and package directories. You can then see what packages are available, along with a short (one-line) comment about the function of the package, and a pointer to a fuller description, by using a browser like lynx (see pkgsrc/www/lynx) or Mozilla (pkgsrc/www/mozilla), or Communicator. This is also available online as ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/README.html. Another way to find out what packages are in the collection is to move to the top-level pkgsrc directory and type "make index". This will create pkgsrc/INDEX which can be viewed via "make print-index | more". You can also search for particular packages or keywords via "make search key=<somekeyword>". It is also possible to use the packaging software to install pre-compiled binary packages by typing "pkg_add <URL-of-binary-pkg>". To see what binary packages are available, see: ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/<release>/<arch>/All/ where <release> is the NetBSD release, and <arch> is the hardware architecture. One limitation of using binary packages provided from ftp.netbsd.org is that all mk.conf options were set to the defaults at compile time. LOCALBASE, in particular, defaults to /usr/pkg, so non-X binaries will be installed in /usr/pkg/bin, man pages will be installed in /usr/pkg/man... When a packaged tool has major compile time choices, such as support for multiple graphic toolkit libraries, the different options may be available as separate packages. For more information on the packages collection see the file Packages.txt file in the same place where you found this README, usually in the top-level pkgsrc dir. directory.
