Changes to the NetBSD Packages Collection in May 1998
=====================================================

This is a list of the changes made to the NetBSD Packages collection
during the month of May 1998, generated from the doc/pkg-CHANGES
file.  The one-line comment about each of the packages mentioned is
included after the description of the change itself.  For a better
description of each package, please see the

	pkgsrc/*/<package-name>/pkg/DESCR

file itself.


Summary
=======

During May, we continued to add packages, and update packages to newer
versions, but we also had a major purge of as many bugs as possible in
the pkgsrc collection prior to the 1.3.2 patch release, which is the
first NetBSD release to include the packages collection.  We have gone
to great lengths to make the pkgsrc tree ``just work'' on both
-current and the 1.3 NetBSD branches.  In particular, I'd like to
thank Hubert, Matthias and Thorsten for a marathon debug and build
session just before the 1.3.2 deadline.

The full list of changes is appended below, but please bear in mind
that this list only mentions new or updated packages, and doesn't
include the large number of bugs that were fixed in the pkgsrc tree.

There are now regularly-generated README.html files on the ftp server,
helping people navigate through the packages collection - thanks to
Hubert for this.  You can now find out the contents of the packages
collection before downloading pkgsrc.tar.gz or supping pkgsrc by
pointing your browser at:

	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/README.html

and you can download binary (i.e. pre-compiled) packages for your
NetBSD machine architecture and release with just one ``Klick''.
