My patch for theora was added to the xiph.org CVS. And I downloaded an example ogg and yuv files for using with example encoder and player. The encoder worked. The player didn't work, because the /dev/dsp was hard-coded; so I made another patch and submitted it to xiph.org too. It was added to their CVS in the same day. Theora is cool! I was able to encode a video with audio and then watch it. If I understand correctly Ogg Tarkin is not currently being worked on -- Ogg Theora is the new video codec project. (It is based on some other company's work.)

For some reason, gv was always falling back to A4. I misread the manpage and tried editing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/gv/gv_*.ad files, but no change. Then I realized this could be customized in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/GV. So I made getpapersize and setpapersize support that. (Also only gets or sets if config file size is greater than zero; I noticed because I had an empty psutils.cfg.) Send-pr: pkg/21641: add gv to print/papersize (diff provided). I accidently changed one line I didn't mean too, so I emailed a new diff for setpapersize to gnats-bugs. (I commited this myself on 15/Aug/2003. wiz said "Ok" for this on 12/Aug/2003. wiz closed PR on 15/Aug/2003.)

I reviewed some PRs from http://www.netbsd.org/Gnats/category/pkg.html and replied to a few. I found that one of mine should be closed too.
