Version: lbzip2-0.22
Focus: Minor bugfixes
Date: 18-Feb-2010
Changes: Building lbzip2 on Debian unstable discovered that the "lfs.sh" build
script, due to a typo, did not invoke the "getconf" utility in a
SUSv2-conformant way. This bug has been corrected.
Version: lbzip2-0.21
Focus: Minor bugfixes
Date: 17-Feb-2010
Changes: Code examination revealed that lbzip2-0.18 introduced a race between
the following two code paths: (1) the muxer thread displays an error
message when it encounters a write error, (2) the main thread, in
preparation to terminate the process, frees the output file name after
an INT or TERM signal is delivered to it. This bug had negligible
chance to occur, but it was fixed nonetheless.
Feature safe: yes
- Allow installation on 64-bit systems even if 32-bit libraries are not
present (binary is statically linked) but we have kernel support for
32-bit compatibility

e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.
Version: lbzip2-0.19
Focus: Minor bugfixes
Date: 01-Dec-2009
Changes: This release works around a GNU/kFreeBSD standards-compliance problem.
GNU/kFreeBSD does not define some STREAMS-related errno macros
mandated by SUSv2. Consequently, lbzip2-0.18 cannot be built on
GNU/kFreeBSD. This version checks if those (and some other) macros are
defined before relying them.
Version: lbzip2-0.18
Focus: Major feature enhancements
Date: 29-Nov-2009
Changes: After adding sanity checks to both decompressors, the following
features were implemented: removal of input FILE operands; options
--keep and --force; copying of owner, group, permission bits, access
time, modification time to regular output files. Logging was cleaned
up and internally categorized into INFO, WARNING and FATAL levels; a
separate exit status was introduced for the case when a warning
message was printed. The decompressor robustness tests were
re-executed. The author has finally replaced bzip2 with lbzip2 on his
system.

Officially, this is mostly a polishing release in preparation for GNOME 3.0
due in about a year.
On the FreeBSD front, though, a lot went into this release. Major thanks
goes to kwm and avl who did a lot of the porting work for this release.
In particular, kwm brought in Evolution MAPI support for better Microsoft
Exchange integration. Avl made sure that the new gobject introspection
repository ports were nicely compartmentalized so that large dependencies
aren't brought in wholesale.
But, every GNOME team member (ahze, avl, bland, kwm, mezz, and myself)
contributed to this release.
Other major improvements include an updated HAL with better volume
probing code, ufsid integration, and support for volume names containing
spaces (big thanks to J.R. Oldroyd); a new WebKit; updated AbiWord;
an updated Gimp; and a preview of the new GNOME Shell project (thanks to
Pawel Worach).
The FreeBSD GNOME Team would like to that the following additional
contributors to this release whose patches and testing really helped
make it a success:
Andrius Morkunas
Dominique Goncalves
Eric L. Chen
J.R. Oldroyd
Joseph S. Atkinson
Li
Pawel Worach
Romain Tartière
Thomas Vogt
Yasuda Keisuke
Rui Paulo
Martin Wilke
(and an extra shout out to miwi and pav for pointyhat runs)
We would like to send this release out to Alexander Loginov (avl) in
hopes that he feels better soon.

MASTER_SITE_BACKUP with ${MASTER_SITES:S/%SUBDIR%/${MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR}/}
at the end and MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE ?= ${MASTER_SITE_BACKUP} are used
together in /etc/make.conf.
So, use simple workaround: replace ( and ) by their URL-encoded %-codes.
(There is the bug in that area still remains, but not fatal:
the combination above don't understand properly ending :tags sometimes
and tries mass fetching with ending :tags unstripped.
Someone should look at that whole bsd.ports.mk/bsd.sites.mk mess)
While I am here, slightly rearrange ending :tags.
