Changes to the Packages Collection in May 1999
==============================================

After the freeze to pkgsrc for the 1.4 release, a large number of
packages were added to the collection in May - notables include:  some
Japanese packages, analog, php and associated modules, fltk, freewais,
gcombust, gnome-pim, gqmpeg, hfsutils, ldapsdk, libxml, mtv, various
perl modules, plp, postfix, the SuSe Linux packages (thanks,
Matthias), url2pkg, usbutil, w3c-httpd, wmakerconf, wterm.  Notable
updates to packages include:  communicator/navigator, control-center,
ddd, fetchmail, glib, gtk, gnome, ircII, lsof, lyx, mkhybrid, mrtg,
mswordview, mysql, pico/pine, ptl2, R, sane, squid, ssh, sudo,
windowmaker, xps, xscreensaver.

Hubert also suggested that I should give a special mention to packages
which are found to be useful or invaluable, and his nominations for
this month's "Cool Package" award are:

> With "gqmpeg" we now have a very nice frontend for mpg123 that has
> support for both shaped skins and is also capable of using WinAmp
> skins.  To help produce your own CDs, you can now use "gcombust",
> which assembles cdrecord and mkhybrid under a simple to use,
> graphical user interface.
> 
> I've used both of them in the past few days, and though i'm not the
> mouse type of person, I still love 'em.  :)

Nominations for next month's "Cool Package" award gratefully received.
