in preparation for improvements in /etc/daily and /etc/weekly
using feedback and suggestions from jmc@ and sthen@
ok jmc@, and sthen@ agreed with the general direction
ridiculous; xdm is totally broken since it never starts anything which resembles
a "login shell". As a result, no configuration is brought into a process
context to give to future xterms or *sh shells and thus cause them to run their
.profile or .kshrc or such a thing, to get futher configuration. Therefore
people are left with a totally bland unconfigured Unix environment in their
xterms, and don't know how to change this since .profile is ignored. This
problem shows hundreds of thousands of google hits. xdm is fundamentally
broken, but we must solve this also for the startx methods, too, and for people
running csh. It is clear that .xsession is not a solution to this problem at
all (that is, assuming the people who suggest such a thing really mean a
.xsession file with the execute bit set). This now becomes the recommended
way for new users to get out of this stupid situation; if someone does not
like it they can change it or delete it. Few will. Just watch.

build the sets before we build the media. While there we can get rid
of DESTDIR/snapshot too, and simply install straight into RELEASEDIR.
(This also ends up saving an astounding amount of traffic/latency in a nfs
environment)
A package can actually "change" after an update even if its version does
not and yet it will not appear in the security(8) output.

ok mbalmer@
uncomment them. this is no longer a sample. everything in here now
must be completely legit.
