tron 2a9006273c Update "squid" package to version 2.2STABLE5. Changes since 2.2STABLE4:
- Changed configure to look for IP-Filter header files
  in both /usr/include and /usr/include/netinet.
- Fixed an ACL subdomain comparison bug (aclDomainCompare).
- Fixed an ACL host <=> domain comparison bug
  (aclHostDomainCompare).
- Fixed a "xstrdup: tried to dup a NULL pointer!" bug
  caused by illegal hostname characters when certain
  ACL types are in use.
- Fixed res_init() bug in dnsserver.  We used to call
  res_init(), and then clear the RES_INIT bit in
  _res.options.  This caused res_init() to be
  called again as soon as we use gethostbyname(), and
  this second initialization wipes out our changing
  the nameservers.  The fix is just to NOT set
  _res.options to RES_DEFAULT after calling res_init().
- Changed FTP to close data sockets as soon as the transfer
  ends, rather than waiting for the reply message on the
  control socket (Alexander V. Lukyanov).
- Fixed some buffering problems between Squid and the
  unlinkd process.  By using file_write(), unlink requests
  were being buffered and experiencing long delays under
  heavy load.  Now use use good ol' write() instead.  Also
  added some feedback from unlinkd to squid so we can track
  the unlink request queue.  If the queue becomes too large,
  we block a little and wait for some acks from unlinkd.

This fixes the first part of PR pkg/8764 by Luke Mewburn.

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 && 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".

+ 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.

+ 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/mk.conf.example file
provides some examples for customisation.

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 pksrc/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.

For more information on the packages collection see the file
Packages.txt in this directory.
