- update: For submitting non-maintainer updates/changes
- maintainer-update: For submitting maintainer updates/changes
The intent is to make it easier to spot maintainer sactioned or submitted
updates to ports though it might also be useful for userland code that is
maintained by someone that is not a FreeBSD committer.

specific changes into the original distribution (although sometimes
with a slightly different approach) and to add two commandline
options to send-pr(1):
-c which allows you to specify an address to CC this

-s allow the severity to be specified on the commandline

with Brian's kernel support for i386 debug registers. This makes
watchpoints actually usable for real-life problems. Note: you can
only set watchpoints on 1-, 2- or 4-byte locations, gdb automatically
falls back to [sloooow] software watchpoints when attempting to use
them on variables which don't fit into this category. To circumvent
this, one can use the following hack:
watch *(int *)0x<some address>
David O'Brien is IMHO considering to get this fully integrated into the
official GDB, but as long as we've got the i386/* files sitting around
in our private FreeBSD tree here, the feature can now be tested more
extensively, so i'm committing this for the time being.
This work has been done in order to debug a tix toolkit problem, thus
it has been sponsored by teh Deutsche Post AG.

ENABLE_SUIDPERL is set to true. When perl is updated to remove the
fork mail code, additional warnings will enable the users to know what
is gonig on and how to correct it. Markm will make those commits as
part of his perl patch integration. suidperl is installed with
execute permissions so that markm's added error messages wil be seen
by the user.
Previously, using -S/--skip, -f/--force, or -t/--batch to skip a patch in
a patchset still registers a failure which causes patch to return a
non-zero exit code. This is particularly undesirable with regards to
ports as there is no way to ignore the non-zero code. (Luckily, we don't
currently have any ports that make use of any of these options.)
The PR (yes, my own) is slightly incorrect: It states that -f does indeed
properly skip patches. It does, but it still sets the failure flag causing
patch to return non-zero.

1) (Biggest) I tried long-and-hard to keep the version number (5.006)
backwards compatible with FreeBSD; I have lost this battle, and
must defer to the Perl convention (5.6.0). Victims include suidperl.
this means that dirs with a name of 5.006 will be replaced with
dirs named 5.6.0 in both /usr/libdata/perl and /usr/local/lib/perl.
2) Errno module is added.
3) Alpha bits extensively tweeked after a Beast-build.

where it is used. c-decl has symbols that conflict with several of the
cc1plus sources.
GNU `ld' was changed in Dec 1999 to be more be compatable with the way that
other linkers work (specifically in the Solaris linker). The 2.9.1 `ld',
did the Wrong Thing in that if a library contained a common symbol that
matched a definition of that symbol in another (already linked in object)
it would also be linked in, even if there was no other reason to do so.
This is wrong. The library should only be linked in if it contains
non-common, non-weak symbols which are needed by previously linked in
objects.
