script mode like the MRI(Microtec Research Inc.) "librarian" program.
Originally this option is provided by Binutils ar(1) to ease the
transition for developers who are used to writing "librarian" scripts.
We added this option to BSD ar(1) because:
1. Further improve the compatibility with Binutils ar(1).
2. There are still a few software using this -M option. (at least one
in our ports collection)

HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_FLAGS, Linux support depends on the
existence of the appropriate ioctl() options. In particular,
this should fix some nagging compile errors on Linux platforms
that don't have e2fsprogs-devel installed.
In particular:
* tar -x -P follows symlinks to existing dirs, but not without -P
* symlinks to files are always replaced
* broken symlinks are always replaced
After the MPSAFE TTY import we support an additional rlimit, called
RLIMIT_NPTS. This limit allows you to cap the amount of pseudo-terminals
allocated by one user.
We forgot to add support for this limit to limits(1), which means it
crashed. Add the proper bits to make it work like it should.
Unfortunately not all shells actually implement the RLIMIT, so
unfortunately I suspect it to be broken with certain shells.

copying "dir/file" and then copying "dir" results in
"File on disk is not older; skipping" for the "dir" because
it was implicitly created by "dir/file." Among other sins,
this means that "dir" ends up with the wrong permissions
and ownership.
This is actually a libarchive bug; fix is forthcoming.
The number of blocks read from ustar archives is just an implementation
difference. The failure of bsdcpio to emit a block count to stderr
in -p mode is a real bug in bsdcpio.

crashes if you run it against GNU cpio 2.9 (although it does

This is easy to confuse with the actual exit status of the program.
Instead exit with EX_SOFTWARE if the command doesn't exit normally.

I would like to provide a way to preview the effects of pathname edits,
but pattern selection has to happen against the unedited path, so it
seems that we have to show people the unedited path to help in
designing selection patterns.

This may contain multibyte characters (e.g. when using UTF-8).
This string is then aligned on byte-length rathern than char-length,
resulting in misalignment and unfinished multibyte characters.

The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

During the import of the 4.4BSD Lite sources, four files got added to
the repository called :tt, :tty, :var and :ww. They seem to contain some
kind of debug information. These files aren't used/installed anywhere.
Unfortunately the colons in the filenames prevents us from checking out
the source tree on file systems that don't support colons (such as FAT).
Just remove these unneeded files to keep SVN happy.
