Paris, 17 July 1998
Bulletin C 16
To authorities responsible for
the measurement and distribution
of time
UTC TIME STEP
on the 1st of January 1999
A positive leap second will be introduced at the end of December 1998.
The sequence of dates of the UTC second markers will be:
1998 December 31, 23h 59m 59s
1998 December 31, 23h 59m 60s
1999 January 1, 0h 0m 0s
The difference between UTC and the International Atomic Time TAI is:
from 1997 July 1, 0h UTC, to 1999 January 1, 0h UTC : UTC-TAI = - 31s
from 1999 January 1, 0h UTC, until further notice : UTC-TAI = - 32s
Leap seconds can be introduced in UTC at the end of the months of
December or June, depending on the evolution of UT1-TAI. Bulletin C mailed
every six months, either to announce a time step in UTC, or to confirm that
there will be no time step at the next possible date.

since ports are not supposed to be broken during the process of
conversion to ELF -- please proceed with caution.)
(2) Support for checking file size before fetching. The essential
parts are commented out for now, so I won't lose the submission
while we discuss how to do it.
Submitted by: se (mostly)
(3) Don't run "fetch" twice. It was due to the change in checksum
target chaining. It used to be fetch -> checksum -> extract,
after 1.285 it was fetch -> checksum and checksum was also
explicitly called from extract. Fix it by not calling fetch from
checksum when it's invoked by extract.
Noticed by: pre-fetch target of lesstif being run twice
(4) Don't try to remove non-existent distfiles and patchfiles in
distclean.

(2) Check for exact version of perl5 in /usr/bin and exit with error
message if USE_PERL5 is defined and version does not match
${PERL_VERSION}.
(3) Note LIB_DEPENDS should not have any regular expressions. Remove
those in USE_XLIB and USE_QT.

(2) ELF support.
2a. Variable PORTOBJFORMAT specifies the object format of the system.
It is passed down to configure/make via CONFIGURE_ENV/MAKE_ENV,
and is given to generate-plist via PLIST_SUB.
2b. In PLIST, substitute lines that end with "/libFOO.so.X" with
"/libFOO.so.X.0". (This means PLISTs should only list ELF
libraries.)
Reviewed by: jb, jdp, hoek, jseger, steve
(3) Perl5-in-system support. Basically turns USE_PERL5 into a no-op
if there exists a "/usr/bin/perl5". Also fix prior breakage by
dima (${PREFIX} => ${LOCALBASE} in perl5 path).
Reviewed by: markm (sort of)
(4) Install requirement file as "+REQUIRE" so it will be executed
correctly by pkg_delete.

(5) Do not disable checksum and makesum when NO_EXTRACT is set.
Pointed out by: hoek and kiri, among other people
src/lkm/Makefile.inc. This fixes broken builds of the syscons LKMs
when OBJFORMAT=elf. Removed src/lkm/Makefile.inc since it became
empty and is worse than useless.
