Add a directory to store contributed stuff.
It will server to hold unmerged stuff.

Configure tsocks with a simple heuristic.

Consider the proxy has to be in a 'local' network. It means it is directly
reachable by the local machine, even if the local machine has to hop through
one or more gates to reach the proxy (often the case in enterprise networks
where class A 10.0.0.0/8 is in fact sub-divided into smaller networks, each
one of them in a different location, eg. 10.1.0.0/16 in a place, while
10.2.0.0/16 would be on the other side of the world). Not being in the same
subnet does not mean the proxy is not available.

So we will build a mask with at most high bits set, which defines a network
that has both the local machine and the proxy. Because a machine may have
more than one interface, build a mask for each of them, removing 127.0.0.1
which is added automagically by tsocks, and removing duplicate masks.

If all of this does not work, then it means the local machine can NOT in fact
reach the proxy, which in turn means the user mis-configured something (most
probably a typo...).

Tss.... I was bieng real stupid while building up the tsocks.conf file. Implement a much simpler way.

Using SOCKS 4/5 proxy is no easy task:
- a machine may well be able to reach the proxy, even if it is not on the same sub-net(s) as the machine itself (absolutely legitimate)
- tsocks.conf needs a list of so-called 'local' networks that can be reached without the need for a SOCKS connection
- SOCKS proxies are expected to be in 'local' networks
- there is absolutely NO way to tell what networks are local, besides the sub-net(s) the machine is in

Therefore, appropriate configuration of SOCKS 4/5 configuration is really complex, and attempts to correctly overcome this issue are doomed.

- Rewrite some parts of history: some sentences could have been considered rude, which was not my intention.
- Fix a few typoes at the same time.

Fix some obvious typoes in docs/overview.txt

When installing SVN snapshots, include the branch and revision in the version number.
In case some random snapshot is installed and used for production, then this
will ease rewinding.

Robert P. J. DAY says:

Based on feedback from Mike Frysinger, add the following patchset for
glibc-2.7. Not stress-tested, but at least make it available for
interested testers.

Robert P. J. DAY says:

According to Mike Frysinger, this patch was removed from Gentoo in the
2.3.x series and didn't seem to cause any adverse effects. So toss it
from the patch directories for glibc 2.5 and up.

Robert P. J. DAY says:

According to Mike Frysinger, this patch hasn't been necessary since
glibc-2.4+, so turf it from glibc patches 2.5 and up. If someone
complains, it can always go back in.

Robert P. J. DAY says:

apparently, the patchset for gcc 4.2.1 applies properly to the
source for gcc 4.2.2 and gcc 4.2.3. so, if you want, you can simply
add support for those last two just by augmenting menuconfig and
adding a couple symlinks for those two directories. seems like a
cheap way to add a couple new versions.

Robert P. J. DAY says:

Add support for duma-2.5.12.

Robert P. J. DAY says:

I have been assured by Mike Frysinger that this patch has been
unnecessary since glibc-2.4.

Robert P. J. DAY says:

Add support for the selection of strace-4.5.16, including an updated
set of patches from strace-4.5.15.

Add EXPERIMENTAL binutils 2.18.50.x.y versions.

Update the list of kernel versions.
