You may get an error like:

$ cvs update -dP
cvs.sourceforge.net: Connection timed out
cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)
When you forget to do: "export CVS_RSH=ssh".

Imported tuxtype2 and tuxmath to wip-pkgsrc. (I made tuxtype2 this week but it doesn't work yet; I did tuxmath last year, but fixed sound today.)

I spent a lot of time troubleshooting that tuxtype2. It was hanging in SDL_Delay which uses pthread's pth_nap. When I removed all SDL_Delay()'s, the program ran without sound. When I just removed some, the sound worked great, but the game would hang. And for some random reason, it worked fine (original code) on an old Pentium 166 with same NetBSD and same packages. I couldn't get it to work again :)

On April 22, I noticed (with docbook) that unzip distfile extraction in pkgsrc may sometimes prompt to replace. It should use -o to overwrite. Send-pr: pkg/21732: EXTRACT_CMD.zip should overwrite existing files without prompting; diff provided. (jmmv fixed and closed on 02/Jul/2003.)
