Made libvorbis package. Fixed a problem with my libogg package:

===> Registering installation for libogg-1.0beta4
pkg_create: Overwriting /usr/pkg/share/doc/libogg-1.0beta4 - pkg
libogg-1.0beta4 bogus/conflicting?
pkg_create: Overwriting /usr/pkg/share/doc/libogg-1.0beta4/ogg - pkg
libogg-1.0beta4 bogus/conflicting?
rainier:/usr/pkgsrc/new/libogg$ pkg_delete libogg
pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory
'/usr/pkg/share/doc/libogg-1.0beta4'
pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory
'/usr/pkg/share/doc/libogg-1.0beta4/ogg'
pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is
incorrectly specified?)

My PLIST had two entries for just directories (not files); once I removed them the problems went away.

I finished cleaning up and building the vorbis-tools (and related) packages. After testing a couple times, I sent four send-pr's: libao (pkg/12412), libogg (pkg/12413), libvorbis (pkg/12414) and vorbis-tools (pkg/12415). All four were added same day (by wiz).

I had patched ogg123 to use "oss" by default (instead of the testing "null" device). I removed this patch and added a MESSAGE that tells the user. Then I sent a quick message about this to the gnats-bugs.

I noticed that my main server hasn't been being nightly backed up to my workstation. The cronjob using rysnc used /usr/pkg/bin/ssh -- which no longer exists. I think I removed that ssh package at the end of January. So I had it use "ssh" instead. The log files don't indicate any problems and I never received any email, because the error didn't go to standard output. (On March 28, I realized that my sendmail replacement was broken!)

I wrote a simple patch for pkgsrc/mk/bsd.pkg.mk so the checksum files (md5 and patch-sum) are placed in pkg/ directories instead of files/. And sent message to tech-pkg. Alistair Crooks reminded me that I can't break existing files/ setup, but could do all new packages using new pkg/. * I need to patch again, plus patch other tools and documentation.
