Also, only RUN_DEPENDS is put into the @pkgdep list of the package.
EXEC_DEPENDS is still supported (for now), it is copied into

This change fixes the following bug/features:
(1) "make fetch" building and installing all the dependencies
(2) Programs needed for building only (e.g., gmake) put into the
packages' dependency lists ("why does the emacs package depend on
gmake?")

the file is fetched or not. Apparently Jordan fixed it a long time
ago but it was broken again at import of the new version of ncftp.
Which means even if we fix it, it may break again and we may need to
fix it again, and (imagination here, please)....
Instead, move the file existence check into the for loop for
MASTER_SITES/PATCH_SITES and break out with "continue 2" when the file
is found. This is actually a cleaner logic than before if you ask me,
because instead of assuming the file is fetched on a 0 exit status
from ncftp AND checking for the existence of the file after the loop,
the check is done exactly once for each iteration and nowhere else.

o a couple of header files have been missing
o convert the LKM Makefile to use <bsd.kmod.mk>
o rename the module to ``misc_mod'' (as opposed to ``miscmod''), so
the module name can be made identical to the module's file name,
avoiding the clash with one of the component's .o file names
o modstat(1/8) has been moved meanwhile
of replacing it. This way you can point it to a site close to you
that carries many distfiles, and still let it go fetch from the
original site if the distfile is not there.

All cross reference labels start with name of the file that contains
them. A label for the top section level is simply the name of the
file (omitting the .sgml). Other references within the file append a
colon and onother name. For example, the label on the mailing list

cosmetic changes (freebsd.cdrom.com -> ftp.freebsd.org), the
omission of "ports" is important. I would like to move this
directory completely out of the ports tree (on the ftp site),

This should be useful for machines like thud, where we want to keep
the /usr/local subtree writable to a group ("ports" in our case). Anybody
who installs stuff in /usr/local should have this set in the environment.
