>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.

Add functionality for support for more than 4 subfields within gcos. chsh,
chpass etc did not parse beyond the 4th field previously and so truncated
gcos on updating the database.
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.

libc/gen/getpass.c. The old behaviour of blocking SIGINT and not
changing SIGQUIT was restored in rev.1.5 of getpass.c. The change
here completely restores the old behaviour of not supporting killing
login with keyboard signals (only) at the password prompt. There
is no reason to support this, since login can be exited normally
by typing a couple of ^D's. Login certainly shouldn't dump core
in response to user input. Previously, SIGQUIT killed login
immediately but SIGINT killed it only after the password was
entered.

o When reporting a int21 function we don't know about yet, report
AH as the major and AL as the minor, as opposed to reporting AL
as the major.
o Add support for 21:44:7: ioctl check output status. We
optimistically say that output is always ready.
o Add half support for 21:23: get file size. We always now return
failure. This function isn't supported, according to the interrupt
list, by the DOS box in windows, so I don't feel too bad.
o Remove init printf
o Don't set optind from return value for do_args. getopt has already
done this.
o Bump EMS memory from 1M to 10M (this really should be a command line
option).
o Open /dev/null when requested to open emmxxxx0 to allow many programs
checking to see if EMS is installed to find it.
o Route int67 to ems_entry to allow EMS to be used when DOS is emulated
as well as when DOS is booted. This may obviate the need for the
driver doing anything at all in a really booted situation and won't
hurt that case.
I can now run the DOS program I'm interested in running with enough
EMS memory that its "advanced" functions are enabled and working.

says it pretends to make.
This bug was apparently harmless except for normal cases involving
.ORDER statements when it made debugging of -jN using -n very
confusing. E.g., for:
.ORDER: beforedepend .depend
depend: beforedepend .depend
where beforedepend depends on something so that it is not initially
up to date, `make [-n] -j2 depend' causes `make' to wait for itself
to make beforedepend. This works fine without -n. The job to make
beforedepend has normally been started, and beforedepend is marked
as made when the job completes. However, with -n, the pseudo-job
for making beforedepend has normally completed, and in any case
there was no chance of beforedepend being marked as made. `make'
actually exited almost immediately with status 0 instead of waiting
forever.
it if flags were explicitly specified on the command line. Do not warn
if we were merely trying to preserve flags or remove UF_NODUMP. NFS does
not support flags.
I'm not sure that this is ideal, but it should do for now. Installing
a plain file onto a NFS server must work, we used to silently ignore the
attempt. Doing a binary install looses the flags anyway since cpio
doens't preserve them with the cdrom/network images.
XXX make world should not use flags or chown/chgrp in the obj/tmp area.

Clean up (or if antipodic: down) some of the msgbuf stuff.
Use an inline function rather than a macro for timecounter delta.
Maintain process "on-cpu" time as 64 bits of microseconds to avoid
needless second rollover overhead.
Avoid calling microuptime the second time in mi_switch() if we do
