me pretty busy.</disclaimer>
Presenting the INDEX file for 4.10-RELEASE with 10796 ports. Given that this
will most likely be the last 4.X release for a while, I decided to go through
the release notes, and cram as many changes as I could into the first verse
of R.E.M.'s "It's the End Of the World As We Know It." To all the R.E.M. fans
out there, I'm truly sorry for this.
It's the Last 4-RELEASE For A While (It's 4.10)
(Sung drunkenly to the tune of R.E.M.'s It's The End Of the World As We Know
It)
It's great, it starts with an update, twa(4), ps(1), sendmail,
crash dumps on amr(4) RAID. Big change to usb(4), now have ctau(4) -
polling(4) in ste(4), GNOME and KDE. No DA_OLD_QUIRKS, BIND, rl(4), xl(4).
libdisk partition fixed with sysinstall(8), killall(8). dcons(4) FireWire,
yo get console access, dcons_crom(4) is required, and that is not all.
natd(8), libalias, ppp(8) now with Skinny Voice over IP. Team by team
the trees were frozen, slushed, thawed, what work! Man this song is lame!
Fine then. Uh-oh, overflow, shared memory, BIND DoS, but they're fixed.
ifconfig(8), sconfig(8). polling(4) in ste(4), VLANs for nge(4).
disklabel(8) with -f operates on files now, right? - right! It's secure,
stable, professional, fast, live, and RFC 2385.
It's the last 4-RELEASE for a while.
It's the last 4-RELEASE for a while.
It's the last 4-RELEASE for a while, it's 4.10.
commit song:
Ports Freeze Baby
(loosely sung to the tune of Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby)
Yo CVS let's kick it
Ports freeze baby (x2)
All right stop grab a port get to fixin'
The freeze is back and pthread is broken
Bikeshed grabs a hold of developers@
People want a slushie to fix -CURRENT PRs
Will it ever stop yo I don't know
Lay down the tag and I'll go
Back to bed haven't slept for weeks
Gotta build packages for 4.9-RELEASE
Damn these Alpha builds take forever
Need more hardware to make things better
Deadly when bento's building KDE
Machines are always breaking into DDB
Build it or fail I can't wait
The tag needs to slip? cvs update
If there are issues portmgr@ takes 'em
Test out the packages while bento makes 'em
CHORUS
Ports freeze baby (x4)
(This is the official 4.9-RELEASE INDEX with 9212 ports.)

(sung to the tune of "Rocket Man" by Elton John)
I built my ports last night, pre-freeze
Zero hour, nine p.m.
And I'm gonna be high
As a kite by then
I miss the tree so much
I miss my ports
It's lonely during the freeze
Oh such a timeless wait
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til bento brings me 'round again to find
This is not the code I think I ran at home
Ah, no no no...
I'm a Porter man
Porter man
Waiting out the freeze
Down here alone
PRs aren't the kind of place
To test your ports
In fact, it's slow as hell
And no one cares to test them
If you did
And all this code
I don't understand
It's just my job
Seven days a week
A porter Man
Porter Man
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til bento brings me 'round again to find
This is not the code I think I ran at home
Ah, no no no...
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til bento brings me 'round again to find
This is not the code I think I ran at home
Ah, no no no...
I'm a porter man
Porter man
Waiting out the freeze
Down here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
Long, long, time
Long, long, time
Ah, no, no, no...
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...
(This is the candidate INDEX for 4.8-RELEASE, with 8332 ports)
THE LONG AND WINDING CODE
The long and winding code
that leads to your port.
Will never disappear;
I've seen that code before.
It always leads me here,
leads me to your port.
Many times I've been alone,
and many times I've cried.
Anyway you'll never know the
many ways I've compiled, but
Still they lead me back
to the long and winding code.
You left me standing here
a long, long time ago.
Don't leave me waiting here,
lead me to your port.

This is the official INDEX for 4.7-RELEASE, containinG 7649 ports.
7649 is a prime number!!
Apologies to: The Beatles
The special treat for this release is not a commit song, but the fact that
we now have:

in the ports collection! Yes, we now ship over 7000 ported applications!
Better yet, 7001 is a prime number!
6777 ports. I have to commit this straight away because the 5.0-dp1
INDEX committed just previously is built with a different version of
XFree86, and we are not yet ready to switch the 4.x package collection
over. This is a bit of a nasty hack (blame Murray :) but one way or
another we won't need to keep doing it in the long term.
about 5716 packages build under 5.0-DP1 on i386, and 4391 on alpha.

BRAIN DAMAGE
The lunatic is in UFS
The lunatic is in UFS
Remembering /usr/games and vnode chains and graphs
Got to keep the loonies in the $PATH
The lunatic is in the kernel
The lunatics are in the kernel
The network drops the routed packets on the floor
And every day the cvsup brings more.
And if -RELEASE comes many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the disk
And if your log explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of 5.0
The lunatic is in my code
The lunatic is in my code
You fetch the patch, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the var
And throw away the key
There's someone in my system but it's not me.
And if the coredumps thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the sound card starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of 5.0

to 4.x prematurely, and also contained a lot of 'pollution' from packages
installed on the build host (mostly gtk), which were being detected by
HAVE_* options in ports which caused them to change names.
The clock has chimed many a full moon since
There was an INDEX whereby someone sang
But now I've stepped up to the crime
And proclaimed "Let this INDEX shine light o'er the land!"
And a loud roar from the crowd rang...
bzip2 coming into the base system (and disappearing from ports
dependencies). There are still the same number of ports.
In addition:
(1) There are 5,305 packages built for the release totaling 4.7GB
(2) There are 6,135 distfiles totaling 5.3GB
Thanks for everyone's help!
the categories of ports repo-copied into french and german).
However, I have something else to say: the package build just ended,
and we have 3,422 (= 2 x 29 x 59) packages for 2,478 (= 2 x 3 x 7 x
59) MB and 3,054 (= 2 x 3 x 509) MB of distfiles for 4.1.1R!
Hmm, that's a lot of 2's and 5[0]9's. Maybe imp will tell you what
those mean.
11 x 41) ports, requiring 2,222 (= 2 x 11 x 101) MB of distfiles, 2754
(= 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 17) of which can be built as packages, totaling
1,721 (prime!) MB.
Since I found a prime, I'm going to stop now. Oh, and you can check out
this tree with "cvs co -rRELEASE_4_0_0 ports".
