Define OLDTIMEZONES to get backward-compatibility links added.
Define LEAPSECONDS if you want leap-second support.
to a reasonable compromise:
MASTER_SITES now contains a space seperated list of sites for which each
DISTFILE may be retrieved. This should be a directory spec, which will be
concatenated with each file in DISTFILES. HOME_LOCATION is *gone* now
and isn't used for anything, so you can delete it from your Makefiles.
If you want to force a fetch from a given location, simply do something like:
MASTER_SITES= ftp://fnord.foo.bar/pub/dist
DISTFILES= a.tar.gz b.tar.gz
Your entry in MASTER_SITES will be tried first to fetch a.tar.gz and
b.tar.gz, followed by any master sites we have set up (right now, only
freebsd.cdrom.com).
directories or links before we install the new things, but now we don't
delete /usr/share/examples itself, so other examples installed from
other places in the tree will not be touched.

These are the FAQ files, reorganized a bit and updated marginally for 2.0.
There is *still more work to be done* in updating, so if some of your FAQ text
is below, please check it over! We've also got a lot of FAQ entries still
to write (examples: "how do I upgrade?" "what's new in 2.0?" "how do I
install on a notebook/second drive/from DOS/etc etc etc?"
1. DISTFILE is gone and replaced by DISTFILES, which can contain one or
more file specifications.
2. MASTER_SITE created, which points to the distfiles directory on
freebsd.cdrom.com (which I'll set up in a moment).
3. HOME_LOCATION is now simply a hint, and is never directly used except
to inform the user when ncftp unable to transfer a file from
MASTER_SITE.
4. ncftp is now assumed to live somewhere in the path, in preparation for
Andrew bringing it in on a more permanant basis.
5. XMKMF defined - it was not before.
Thanks to Andrew (ache) for many helpful suggestions.

Pull in ../Makefile.inc so that the whatis database ends up in the correct
place. Rich Murphy has a better fix for this, but I lost it!
multiple targets when dealing with creating a set of distribution files
from scratch. Another problem is *verifying* that a given file fetched
from its HOME_LOCATION is the one we wanted (what if the stupid ftp site
maintainer updated it in place?). Rich Morin pointed this out and suggested
some solutions. I need to think about it some more (suggestions?).
For now, we have a seperate `fetch' and `extract' target.

Delete the old style generation of the whatis database and replace it

remains, and that's that this does not work with multiple targets, which
sort of throws the tk and fvwm distributions into a mess. tk needs both
a tarball and a patch file from the same site, fvwm needs up to 3 different
files if you want all the options. If anyone wants to take this the last
few steps of the way towards somehow handling cases like this, I'd be very
happy.

${DISTDIR}/${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX}
With simply `${DISTFILE}' which defaults to the above. This lets you
easily name distribution files that don't cooperate with any rational
naming syntax.
Similarly, make a variable called ${PKGFILE} which fills the same purpose
for packages.
Just trying to make this thing really really general to suit every need.
Now I need somebody to figure out how to make the extract target auto-fetch
things from ${HOME_LOCATION} with ncftp *if* ncftp is installed and it
looks possible to reach the foreign site. That will take some fancy footwork,
but would be slick. I've changed this too so that HOME_LOCATION is no longer
set by default, allowing you to do an .if defined(..) check for it. The
extract rule now does this too.

Build an intermediate object file even when there is only one source
file. This costs a little space but saves time if the target is rebuilt
a lot, and it stops the target varying with the name of temporary
intermediates.
Use ${ECHO} instead of `echo' so that `make -s' is fairly quiet.
Use ${ECHODIR} instead of echo for printing directory names so that
`make -ss' is very quiet.
previous commit:
+ Everything is initialized using ?= instead of =.
+ Nicer formatting (more white space).
+ .c: rule.
Add macros ECHO and ECHODIR. Both are normally `echo', but when
the make flags include -s, ECHO is set to `true' and when the make
flags include two or more -s's ECHODIR is set to `true'. @${ECHO}
should be used instead of @echo in most cases. ${ECHODIR} is
intended to be used mainly for messages about directory names.
PRECIOUSLIB causes the shared library to be installed with the system
immutable flag (schg) set. (You can add other flags for shared-library
installation by modifying SHLINSTALLFLAGS.)
INTERNALLIB disables the generation of non-shared versions of the library.
This may be of use for programs like Taylor UUCP and GCC which have large
internal libraries shared among a number of programs.
Add pre-{build,extract,install,...} targets for Torsten, who apparently
needs them. Can't do effective post-* targets without major work, sorry.

special ports building targets and will recurse properly. Sorry,
Julian E - no fancy prompts, just recursion! :-)
Added a `bundle' target. Purpose is as follows:
You want to give someone a complete tree sans distfiles (for
sticking on CDROM perhaps?) but the difficulty there is that
the first time the user types `make clean', all the unpacked
sources are gone again. Typing `make bundle' recreates the
original distfile if it can, so someone can "back up" their
unpacked tree easily with one command.
Whoops, just thought of something - it should warn if you
configured the working source.
Ok, next commit! :)

1. New variable DEPENDS lets you list packages that this depends on,
relative to the top (lang/tcl, x11/tk, etc). These packages will
always get made first.
2. Don't configure again if you've already done so successfully.
3. Add pre-configure and post-configure hooks. You can now do a pre-configure,
a local configure, a port-provided configure and finally a post-configure
if you really really want to. I can't imagine anything this will leave us
not being able to do! :) [ Yes, I have actually found a use for at least
two of these in one port - see x11/tk!].

Makefiles.
DANGER WILL ROBINSON!
This will cause repeat installs of certain programs, such as `init' and
`rcp', to fail unless one of the two conditions is met:
1) You are in single-user mode.
2) Your security level is set to 0 or -1.
If you have compiled a kernel from the latest sources, your kernel
security level is set to -1 by default, which will keep `init' from
fiddling with it. You can increase it, but not decrease it, from the
command line with the command `sysctl -w kern.securelevel=<new value>'.
I believe that -1 is the most appropriate value to use while we are still
developing the code, although when we ship it should be changed back to 0.
See init(8) for more information.
have a choice between SHARED=copies and SHARED=symlinks. The default
is to copy.
I have also added a /usr/share/examples/etc directory, where I hope to
have all sample configuration files which in real use go into /etc installed.
(This way, if the user really screws the real one up, they can always go
back to a known-working distribution copy, even if they don't have sources.)
and cleandir: targets, simple use a CLEANFILES+= to handle this very
simple special case.
Add ${COPY} knob to install commands so that files don't disappear out

Disable man for now it will be fixed shortly, just wanted all the man
