you have a Makefile without one.
(2) Fix case when user had DISTDIR defined elsewhere and DIST_SUBDIR
is also defined. (Submitted by: max)
(3) Add several popular master sites as variables. For instance,
MASTER_SITE_XCONTRIB is defined to be a list of X11R6 contrib sites,
which you can set MASTER_SITES to in your Makefile if you just
want ftp.x.org or any of the mirror sites.
There is also a new variable, MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR, to specify which
subdirectory of the master site your tarball is located.
One nice thing this enables the user to do is to define the
nearest mirror site in /etc/make.conf. This is especially useful
for continents without a full FreeBSD master site.
Eventually, we will probably split this into a separate file
(bsd.port.sites.mk?), and add some more sites from all corners of
the world.
Right now, XCONTRIB, GNU, PERL_CPAN, TEX_CTAN, and SUNSITE are
supported.
(4) COMPRESS_MAN command alias is replaced by MAN[1-9LN] variables.
You just say "MAN1=foo.1 bar.1" and the make rules will

(6) Chained dependency cleaning, can be turned off by NOCLEANDEPENDS.

of warnings for comparisions. Turning off -W also loses warnings for:
- auto variables clobbered by longjmp. Not much of a problem in the kernel.
- functions returning without a value. I don't like losing this.
- an expression statement or the left side of a comma operand contains no
side effects. Turning this off also stops warnings for the low quality
debugging macros in gsc.c and lpt.c.
Should be in 2.2.

Running them twice usually destroyed the target binary. E.g., the
second `make objlink' in `make objlink; make; make objlink' replaced
the `cat' binary by a symlink cat@ -> /usr/obj/usr/src/bin/cat.
`ln -fs' is unusable when the target might be a symlink that resolves
to a directory. Then -f applies to a file in the directory and not
to the symlink. This seems to be the standard (and sometimes useful)
behaviour.

bsd.doc.mk:
Nuked mkdir -p and wrong fixups of the leaf directory's ownerships and
permissions. The doc tree should be well enough established for this
to be safe. Installs to directories should use a trailing slash on
the directory name so installs to non-drectories are fatal, but I
didn't start changing them.
bsd.man.mk:
Nuked mkdir -p and wrong fixups of the leaf directory's ownerships and
permissions. They were overkill to create just /usr/share/info.
zoneinfo/Makefile:
No changes yet. zic creates directories with ordinary 755 permissions.
Why do we use 555 permissions for directories in /usr/share/zoninfo.
Why not for zoneinfo itself? /proc and /dev/fd are the only other
directories in the system with 555 permissions.

(2) Bring the *_DEPENDS section up to the current state. Explain that
the pathname in the "path:dir" pair can be a full pathname if you

to use jpeg, tcl-7.3's appropriateness as an example is quite
outdated at this point. ;)
Here are the diffs for libc_r to get it one step closer to P1003.1c
These make most of the thread/mutex/condvar structures opaque to the
user. There are three functions which have been renamed with _np
suffixes because they are extensions to P1003.1c (I did them for JAVA,
which needs to suspend/resume threads and also start threads suspended).
I've created a new header (pthread_np.h) for the non-POSIX stuff.
The egrep tags stuff in /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile that I uncommented
doesn't work. I think its best to delete it. I don't think libc_r needs
tags anyway, 'cause most of the source is in libc which does have tags.
also:
Here's the first batch of man pages for the thread functions.
The diff to /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile removes some stuff that was
inherited from /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile that should only be done with
libc.

I should have sent this diff with the pthread(3) man page.
It allows people to type
make -DWANT_LIBC_R world
to get libc_r built with the rest of the world. I put this in the
pthread(3) man page. The default is still not to build libc_r.
also:
The diff attached adds a pthread(3) man page to /usr/src/share/man/man3.
The idea is that without libc_r installed, this man page will give people
enough info to know that they have to build libc_r.
so that people can look and comment.
I'll add the at_fork and at_exit immediatly, but I'll
