a port so there is nothing to be done on that side now.

>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.

point to it rather than libscrypt.
This was how it was done prior to libscrypt being added in. This should
stop more people getting burnt with the /usr/lib -> /usr/lib/aout
transition, and the same when the ELF libs come online.
Changed MACHINE to MACHINE_ARCH with the expectation that pc98 will
use elf the same as i386.
Nuked tahoe and vax 'cause the files they reference aren't in the
tree. If you want vax goto NetBSD. If you want tahoe... tough.
stale obj directory and we wouldn't want to do that! I trust he knows
what he's talking about. 8-)
Also avoid building libm at all until the NetBSD asm code is imported.
I wrongly commented this out last time. Oops.
to another architecture (in this case the Alpha) we can continue to use
the host csu objects (from NetBSD). This should be a non-function change
to FreeBSD/i386.
the src/contrib/tcl directory existing, and also have an /etc/make.conf
override (NOTCL) to stop building libtcl. This is in similar other
things from src/Makefile, eg: NOGAMES, NOLKM, etc.
This is so that people can put in a refuse entry in their cvsup files and
not fetch the tcl code, and have it not built automatically. I'll do
something similar for perl.
- A major 11th hour, last second, untested commit!
Build some infrastructure to clean up the compat lib distributions, and
also allow them to be installed from the source tree rather than having
to to and get the tarballs from freefall or a CD. Some tweaks to
/etc/make.conf are in the pipeline to enable it.
This came about because it became apparent that we'd have to change the
compat21.tgz tarball to fix the NIS problem with 2.1.x binaries. Since
it's tar..gz.uu, doing this would have caused a huge repository change
and we may as well try and fix it once and for all. Now, adding/removing
libraries should have MUCH less repository impact.

Here are the diffs for libc_r to get it one step closer to P1003.1c
These make most of the thread/mutex/condvar structures opaque to the
user. There are three functions which have been renamed with _np
suffixes because they are extensions to P1003.1c (I did them for JAVA,
which needs to suspend/resume threads and also start threads suspended).
I've created a new header (pthread_np.h) for the non-POSIX stuff.
The egrep tags stuff in /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile that I uncommented
doesn't work. I think its best to delete it. I don't think libc_r needs
tags anyway, 'cause most of the source is in libc which does have tags.
also:
Here's the first batch of man pages for the thread functions.
The diff to /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile removes some stuff that was
inherited from /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile that should only be done with
libc.
also:
I should have sent this diff with the pthread(3) man page.
It allows people to type
make -DWANT_LIBC_R world
to get libc_r built with the rest of the world. I put this in the
pthread(3) man page. The default is still not to build libc_r.
also:
The diff attached adds a pthread(3) man page to /usr/src/share/man/man3.
The idea is that without libc_r installed, this man page will give people
enough info to know that they have to build libc_r.

This is a bulk mport of Mike's IPX/SPX protocol stacks and all the
related gunf that goes with it..
it is not guaranteed to work 100% correctly at this time
but as we had several people trying to work on it
I figured it would be better to get it checked in so
they could all get teh same thing to work on..
Mikes been using it for a year or so
but on 2.0
more changes and stuff will be merged in from other developers now that this is in.
