should be closer to 2.0.5R now. I'll try to be faster for future updates...

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.

This is performed by using a line similar to:
controller scbus0 at ahc0 bus 1
to wire scbus0 to the second bus on an adaptec 2742T controller.

to do something else than "install". For example,
make IS_DEPENDED_TARGET=fetch fetch
will fetch the required distfiles including those of the dependencies
without actually building and installing dependencies.
Also document ECHO_MSG.

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
section in the file eresources.sgml is eresources:mail. This gives
each file its own cross reference namespace.

as our distribution point for distfiles and patches. Other than
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),
so that people who do "get ports.tar.gz" won't get a bogus distfiles
-> ../distfiles symlink (which will make "make fetch" fail).
Sometime around the 2.1 release, the distfiles link will be deleted.
set permissions and ownerships of PREFIX (usually /usr/local). This
is the default if USE_IMAKE or USE_X11 is set.
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.
Note this won't affect anything the pkg_* suite does.
Note that the two "touch"s I took out from do-patch shouldn't have
been there in the first place.
This target may give incorrent results if two separate patches deal
with the same file, and their hunks overlap. (But having those kinds
of patches are bad, and they should be merged anyway.)

Note that bsd.port.mk requires category names to start with lowercase

By the way, here is a small script to convert your local package
hierarchy. Run it in bash, as /bin/sh not only will bark at the
$(.) command substitution but will also botch the [a-z]*/*.tgz
expansion (long-standing and annoying bug, reported before).
cd /usr/ports/packages
mv .packages All
for i in [a-z]*/*.tgz; do
j=$(basename $i)
/bin/rm $i
ln -s ../All/$j $i
