o a couple of header files have been missing
o convert the LKM Makefile to use <bsd.kmod.mk>
o rename the module to ``misc_mod'' (as opposed to ``miscmod''), so
the module name can be made identical to the module's file name,

All cross reference labels start with name of the file that contains
them. A label for the top section level is simply the name of the

cosmetic changes (freebsd.cdrom.com -> ftp.freebsd.org), the
omission of "ports" is important. I would like to move this

This should be useful for machines like thud, where we want to keep

Ports for which we can't build packages should define NO_PACKAGE but
still prepare pkg/* files. The user who really wants a package and
clear of the legal problems can say FORCE_PACKAGE from the command line
to build a package anyway.

touch cookie
repackage: ditto but don't check cookie
package-noinstall: just build package from installed stuff, no cookies

package-links create the symbolic links only

delete-package-links: delete links only
These should make the management of the spaghetti of package links
a little friendlier. :)

(2) Call scripts/pre-* script (if exists)

The do-* targets do all the work. The pre-* and post-* targets/scripts

porters shouldn't have to worry about them at all.
NOTE: THE MAIN TARGETS IN THE PORTS MAKEFILES SHOULD GO AWAY. We need

rip out the cookies, rip out the calls to pre-* etc. and most of them
should work.

For the old behavior (i.e, just go ahead and blindly pack everything up,
regardless of the contents of work/), there is a new target "repackage".
Since "build" depends on "configure", which depends on "patch", etc.,
this shouldn't disrupt any Makefile that doesn't break the dependency

The old behavior was very annoying because when I did a "make -k",
