honor of the occasion I have bumped the version number to 1.1.
The port now depends upon the cvsup-bin and cvsupd-bin ports rather
than on the more trouble-prone cvsup port.
The CVSup server is run with "-C 100" (max. 100 clients at a time)
and the true limit is set in the "/usr/local/etc/cvsup/cvsupd.access"
file. This is nice because you can change the limit by editing
the file; you don't have to restart the server. The cvsupd.access
file also contains a rule to limit each individual host to one
connection at a time.
The CVSup client is now run under its own unprivileged user ID
instead of root. This is a security enhancement. It makes it
impossible for a compromised master site to install files into
places outside the mirror area of the filesystem. The permissions
of various other files such as /usr/local/etc/cvsup have also been
strengthened to enhance security.
Both client and server now cd to /var/tmp to run, so that if they
decide to croak they'll be able to write the core file. :-)
The /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cvsupd.sh script now honors the "start"
and "stop" arguments.
The configure script no longer attempts to tell you the sizes of
the various collections. That's impossible to maintain. When I
have time I plan to make a web page where one can obtain that
information from an automatically-updated source. Then I will
reference the URL in the configure script.
It is possible to upgrade an existing cvsup-mirror-1.0 installation
to this new version, but it is tricky because of the change in
ownership of the mirrored files. I will post instructions to the
freebsd-hubs mailing list after I make sure I have the procedure
just right.
The trap handler returns different information after this date for
numeric error conditions. Since kern.osreldate is not a reliable
indicator of when this change occurred, we revert to checking for
the presence of a particular #define in <machine/trap.h> to decide
if the SML/NJ runtime sources need to use the newer interface.

ispell was looking for files in $LIBDIR. Because $LIBDIR is only used for
dictionaries, we don't need the SHAREDIR variable. Just define LIBDIR to
$PREFIX/share/ispell.
to before IPv6.
Since IPv6-enable python make bigger the size of sockaddr, some of scripts
are affected. I maintain python+ipv6 separately to minimize impact for users.
It will be removed when IPv6 patches are merged into original distribution,
such as ruby.

mailing stuff out automatically, it is just too much. Please use
lrzsz, zmtx-zmrx or any other free alternative.
If nothing else works, you can always compile rzsz from the original
source.
