BSDPAN is the collection of modules that provides tighter than ever
integration of Perl into BSD Unix.
Currently, BSDPAN does the following:
o makes p5- FreeBSD ports PREFIX-clean;
o registers Perl modules in the FreeBSD package database with a
package name derived from the module name.
The name is of the form: bsdpan-ModuleName-V.VV.
Anyone interested in where BSDPAN is developing should read Anton's
message to the ports mailling list:

I have held this back for over a year, as we will always have to wrestle
with the question of "*which* libiberty sources to use". Sigh, if only
the GNU people would treat it as a totally separate library from GCC, et al.
and release it as such...
"locailzed"; it should read "localized".
* The "test" operator can be a bit dangerous (e.g., if
a newbie writes a script named "test" and has it call
"apropos", which calls "test, ...).
* In its use as "whatis", apropos formats the first
line of the output differently than the following
lines. Specifically, it leaves out all but one of
the spaces that precede the dash in the first line.

line. Also follow the new FSF/GNU style of giving the symbol a value so it
can be used in `if()' statements in addition to `#if' so seldomly compiled

current_file_name and current_link_name sometimes point into the
middle of malloc()ed memory and sometimes point to alloca()ed memory,
but free() is sometimes called on them. This seems to be harmless
for the usual tar operations, but it is usually fatal for `tar -W'.
E.g., for `cd /etc; tar Wcf /tmp/foo rc', at the start of
verify_volume(), current_file_name points to alloca()ed memory, and
tar attempts to free it.
groff(1) devices for localized and non-localized pages.
Currently, for *.ISO_8859-1 locales the device in both
cases is "latin1", and for KOI8-R locale it is "koi8-r"
for localized and "ascii" for non-localized pages.

change out that made libperl.so dynamically depend on libutil.so to pick
up setproctitle() in its old location. This breaks changes involving
incomptabable libc's because ld looks for the dynamic dependency
(which it has no business doing anyway) in the wrong place - /usr/lib!

- Use offsets into struct globaldata directly to find per-cpu variables,
rather than symbols in globals.o

when using gdb on a remote target. The fix is to restrict PT_GETDBREGS
calls to `child' and `freebsd-uthreads' targets solely.
I've been in some conversation with Brian about this, and this solution

GCC 2.7.2.3 as that was the version of GCC in active use before the switch
to ELF.
The GCC 2.9[67] versions of these files carry more baggage and I'm not sure
the are appropriate for this linker.
Add the -U and --unlink-first options which are the offical verions of our
--unlink localism.
Add support for the "TAR_OPTIONS" environmental variable.

Looking in src/Makfile* it looks like all the "WANT_AOUT" support
has been removed, maybe these should just go away...
Note that the a.out `ld' reaches over into src/contrib/gcc for libiberty
bits. This is biting us because the libiberty bits have evolved beyond
what the a.out `ld' can handle.
This change fixes the broken world, but only because very few have
"WANT_AOUT" defined.

files. Mostly -I${.CURDIR} was needed -- especially for YACC generated
files as the new cpp does not look in the ultimate source file
(ie, the .y file)'s directory as told by the "#line" directive. Some were
misspellings of "-I${.CURDIR}" as "-I.".
`wait.h' that was in contrib/binutils/, however this wait.h went away with
bintuils 2.10.0 so I `cvs rm'ed it. Now we find gdb will not build. This
binutils wait.h contained nothing we didn't already have in <sys/wait.h>.
So just hack a symlink to it.
o Move building libperl and miniperl from build-tools to
cross-tools. libperl uses MACHINE_ARCH to determine the
right configuration, which doesn't match the build
machine when cross-building if they are built as build-
tools.
o Since miniperl needs to be built as a cross-tool, it
needs to be installed under /usr/obj so that it can be
used (cross-tools have a special object directory to
avoid build conflicts. As a downside, you can't easily
run cross-tools from their object directory). Remove
the install and distribute override targets. To avoid
having miniperl installed by installworld, remove it
from SUBDIR.
o We can't pickup miniperl from the object directory but
since it's installed, depend on PATH. This is save,
because the makefiles are run with a known path.
o Build libperl again as part of the library target. A
_libperl variable existed, but it was never defined.
o Add chmod to the list of saved tools, because perl
conditionally uses it during install.
The bootstrap-tools and cross-tools targets are modified to
avoid building profiled and shared libraries. While here,
have these targets build static binaries instead of shared
binaries.

LinuxThreads port. Dike it out as it was removed from freebsd.h on
19-July-2000 as this option depended on bits not part of the base system
and required people to install the LinuxThreads port in a manner
non-consistent with the workings of our Ports Collection.

when using the egcs and gcc-devel ports, along with GCC built from stock
public FSF sources. With out this change, FreeBSD will be removed from
the list of systems GCC 3.0 must be evaluated on before release. With
the effort some of us put into getting FreeBSD on this list, we should
not turn this effort into a waste, else we might not be worth fighting
for in the future. (note that Alpha and IA-64 versions of crt{i,n}.S
are needed)
* Switch from our own crt{begin,in} to those created from GCC's crtstuff.c.
This will allow us to switch to DWARF2 exceptions in the future, along with
staying in sync with any future GCC requirements.
* Break out our ELF branding bits into a seperate file. Currently this
is now included by our crt1.c files (since this functionality was part of
our native crtbegin.c). Later crtbrand.o will be merged in the creation
of crti.o.
with Brian's kernel support for i386 debug registers. This makes
watchpoints actually usable for real-life problems. Note: you can
only set watchpoints on 1-, 2- or 4-byte locations, gdb automatically
falls back to [sloooow] software watchpoints when attempting to use
them on variables which don't fit into this category. To circumvent
this, one can use the following hack:
watch *(int *)0x<some address>
David O'Brien is IMHO considering to get this fully integrated into the
official GDB, but as long as we've got the i386/* files sitting around
in our private FreeBSD tree here, the feature can now be tested more
extensively, so i'm committing this for the time being.
This work has been done in order to debug a tix toolkit problem, thus
it has been sponsored by teh Deutsche Post AG.

ENABLE_SUIDPERL is set to true. When perl is updated to remove the
fork mail code, additional warnings will enable the users to know what
is gonig on and how to correct it. Markm will make those commits as
part of his perl patch integration. suidperl is installed with
execute permissions so that markm's added error messages wil be seen
by the user.
Previously, using -S/--skip, -f/--force, or -t/--batch to skip a patch in
a patchset still registers a failure which causes patch to return a
non-zero exit code. This is particularly undesirable with regards to
ports as there is no way to ignore the non-zero code. (Luckily, we don't
currently have any ports that make use of any of these options.)
The PR (yes, my own) is slightly incorrect: It states that -f does indeed
properly skip patches. It does, but it still sets the failure flag causing
patch to return non-zero.

1) (Biggest) I tried long-and-hard to keep the version number (5.006)
backwards compatible with FreeBSD; I have lost this battle, and
must defer to the Perl convention (5.6.0). Victims include suidperl.
this means that dirs with a name of 5.006 will be replaced with
dirs named 5.6.0 in both /usr/libdata/perl and /usr/local/lib/perl.
2) Errno module is added.
3) Alpha bits extensively tweeked after a Beast-build.

where it is used. c-decl has symbols that conflict with several of the
cc1plus sources.
GNU `ld' was changed in Dec 1999 to be more be compatable with the way that
other linkers work (specifically in the Solaris linker). The 2.9.1 `ld',
did the Wrong Thing in that if a library contained a common symbol that
matched a definition of that symbol in another (already linked in object)
it would also be linked in, even if there was no other reason to do so.
This is wrong. The library should only be linked in if it contains
non-common, non-weak symbols which are needed by previously linked in
objects.
