enough. For now, the GNU versions aren't removed from the tree, just detached
from the build.

This utility allows users to convert their wtmp databases to the new
format. It makes no sense for users to keep their wtmp log files if they
are unable to view them.
It basically copies ut_line into ut_id as well. This makes it possible
for last(1) and ac(8) to match login records with their corresponding
logout record.
While hacking on TTY code, I often miss a small utility to revoke my own
(pseudo-)terminals. This small utility is just a small wrapper around
the revoke(2) call, so you can destroy your very own login sessions.

Some time ago Tom Rhodes sent me an email that he was willing to perform
various cleanups to the window(1) source code. After some discussion, we
both decided the best thing to do, was to move window(1) to the ports
tree. The application isn't used a lot nowadays, mainly because it has
been superseeded by screen, tmux, etc.
A couple of hours ago Tom committed window(1) to ports (misc/window), so
I'm removing it from the tree. I don't think people will really miss it,
but I'm describing the change in UPDATING anyway.

a. The BSD version will be built and installed unless
WITHOUT_BSD_CPIO is defined.
b. The GNU version will not be built or installed unless
WITH_GNU_CPIO is defined. If this is defined, the symlink
in /usr/bin will be to the GNU version whether the BSD
version is present or not.
When these changes are MFCed the defaults should be flipped.
2. Add a knob to disable the building of GNU grep. This will
make it easier for those that want to test the BSD version in
the ports.

Starting now, there are two cpio programs in the base system:
/usr/bin/gcpio - GNU cpio
/usr/bin/bsdcpio - bsdcpio
In addition, there is a symlink:
/usr/bin/cpio -> /usr/bin/gcpio (default)
/usr/bin/cpio -> /usr/bin/bsdcpio (WITH_BSDCPIO)
In particular, WITH_BSDCPIO only controls the
symlink; bsdcpio is always built regardless.
Unless there are objections or problems, I intend:
* to make /usr/bin/bsdcpio available in 7.1
* to have /usr/bin/cpio default to bsdcpio in 8.0
(WITH_GCPIO will be an option instead of WITH_BSDCPIO)
* to leave /usr/bin/gcpio in the tree until 9.0
binutils ar and ranlib to gar and granlib, respectively.
* Introduce a temporary variable WITH_GNUAR as a safety net.
When buildworld with -DWITH_GNUAR, GNU binutils ar and ranlib
will install as default ones and 'BSD' ar will be disabled.
* Bump __FreeBSD_version to reflect the import of 'BSD' ar(1).

the threading libraries is built. This simplifies the
logic in makefiles that need to check if the pthreads
support is present. It also fixes a bug where we would
build a threading library that we shouldn't have built:
for example, building with WITHOUT_LIBTHR and the default
value of DEFAULT_THREADING_LIB (libthr) would mistakenly
build the libthr library, but not install it.

NetBSD version is a feature-to-feature re-implementation of GNU
gzip using the freely-redistributable zlib and this version is
expected to be mostly bug-to-bug compatible with the GNU
implementation.
- Because this is a piece of mature code and we want to make
changes so it is added directly rather than importing to
src/contrib.
- Connect newly added code to src/usr.bin/ and rescue/rescue
build.
- Disconnect the GNU gzip code from build for now, they will
be eventually removed completely.
- Provide two new src.conf(5) knobs, WITHOUT_BZIP2_SUPPORT and
WITHOUT_BZIP2.

well (in the sense of constructing small patches) for executable code.
Both portsnap (coming to the base system Real Soon Now) and FreeBSD
Update (coming to the base system a bit later) use bspatch.
This is the same code as the bsdiff-4.2 which has been in the ports
tree (misc/bsdiff) for the past year, with the following exceptions:
1. The license is now the traditional 2-clause BSD;
2. Instead of forking and execing bzip2, the code now uses libbz2; and
3. Some minor changes have been made to fit this code into the base
system (adding $FreeBSD$ tags, putting bsdiff and bspatch into separate
directories, etc.)
This code is rather ugly and has lots of style bugs (mostly because I
wrote it before I had ever heard of style(9)). Some day I'll come
back and clean it up.
