>decision is, I'll respect it.
Another chance to architect people's principles...I can hardly wait. Seems
quite appropriate for a Sunday - I just need to get one of those collection
plates (and money envelopes) so I can profit, too. :-)
Tcl stays in /usr/src for now, but it needs to be kept up to date; same
for perl. If Jordan doesn't have "setup" (written in tcl) ready for 3.0,
then tcl will be yanked prior to the 3.0 release (and made into a port).
As for the ports tree only supporting the last FreeBSD release, this seems
sensible to me. The "ports" have always been a moving target between releases
and the problem is only going to get worse when we expand to supporting other
processor architectures. In any case, Satoshi is and always has been in charge
of the ports tree and whatever he wants to do with it (within reason :-)) is
his decision.
Does this cover the issue completely? I admit to deleting messages in this
thread with unusual fervor (people have FAR too much time on their hands!).
There's a fair bit of reasoning behind the above, but since everyone is sick
of arguing about this, I'll spare you the analysis.

I hope some other people might find them useful. They are for
zh_CN.EUC (GB) only. I'm not familiar with the BIG5 encoding,
so I could only hope someone else would fill the gap.

hard coded into too many things), it's not nice to go and change /home/src
etc. This means they will be created if missing (so it shouldn't break
the releases), but won't touch them once they are changed.
Move a.out libraries to /usr/lib/aout to make space for ELF libs.
Make rtld usr /usr/lib/aout as default library path.
Make ldconfig reject /usr/lib as an a.out library path.
Fix various Makefiles for LIBDIR!=/usr/lib breakage.
This will after a make world & reboot give a system that no
longer uses /usr/lib/*, infact one could remove all the old
libraries there, they are not used anymore.
We are getting close to an ELF make world, but I'll let this
all settle for a week or two...
makefile doesn't install them, and they couldn't be used without
lots of undocumented -I's in CFLAGS. tcl.h is still installed in
/usr/include/tcl/. Note that rev.1.24 of tcl_bmake/mkMakefile.sh
broke all the section 3 tcl man pages by putting it there instead
of in /usr/include.
permissions.
Having them here is wrong from several other poins too:
they are never be a directories (simlinks only), so why give a chance to mtree to make
them as directories?
Since they never be a directories, permissions of them will never be
modified by old mtree too.
to 0775.
This does *not* instantly make any program which "ensures"
mail spool consistency by creating lock files safe in any way
since other tools, like mail.local, will be using flock() semantics
and any such lock file will simply be ignored. It does, however,
allow a lot of things which are currently suid root in order to create
such bogus lockfiles to, at least, be bogus at a much lower level of
privilege (and this is good). Ultimately, of course, everybody should
just use flock.
Fixed munged whitespace (just 2 lines of it). The mtree files were
originally generated by `mtree -cdinx -kuname,gname,mode'. This
gives output with no tabs except in the header. The format should
be preserved by manual updates so that the files don't change a
lot when they are regenerated.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
The zoneinfo makefile doesn't follow the rules. It builds everything
at install time. It dpends on zic to create the directories. zic
doesn't know about the weird 555 permissions specified in BSD.usr.dist,
so it creates the directories with nonstandard permissions.
default, so there's no use in running it without any printer
definition in printcap. Also added a bunch of hints about the printer
setup, to guide the admin about the printer setup (handbook,
"apsfilter"), and a commented-out sample setup for a remote printer.
In the same line, add /var/spool/lpd/output to BSD.var.dist since it
is referred to by the "lp" entry in printcap.
Added forgotten share/doc/psd/05.sysman and share/zoneinfo/America/Indiana.
bsd.doc.mk:
Nuked mkdir -p and wrong fixups of the leaf directory's ownerships and
permissions. The doc tree should be well enough established for this
to be safe. Installs to directories should use a trailing slash on
the directory name so installs to non-drectories are fatal, but I
didn't start changing them.
bsd.man.mk:
Nuked mkdir -p and wrong fixups of the leaf directory's ownerships and
permissions. They were overkill to create just /usr/share/info.
zoneinfo/Makefile:
No changes yet. zic creates directories with ordinary 755 permissions.
Why do we use 555 permissions for directories in /usr/share/zoninfo.
Why not for zoneinfo itself? /proc and /dev/fd are the only other
directories in the system with 555 permissions.
