apb aa3786b9b6 Change several int variables to size_t, ssize_t, or ptrdiff_t. This should fix the bug described in CVE-2012-5667 when an input line is so long that its length cannot be stored in an int variable. This change to NetBSD's version of GNU grep 2.5.1 (licenced under GPLv2) was made without direct reference to any code licenced under GPLv3. Thanks to Ignatios Souvatzis for looking at GPLv3-derived patches and describing the problem in general terms. Thanks to pkgsrc/devel/coccinelle for helping me find places where int variables were used to store the results from pointer arithmetic or strlen(). Thanks to Martin Husemann for testing.		2013-01-05 09:40:15 +00:00

Organization of Sources:

This directory hierarchy is using a new organization that
separates the GNU sources from the BSD-style infrastructure
used to build the GNU sources.  The GNU sources are kept in
the standard GNU source tree layout under:

	dist/*

The build infrastructure uses the normal BSD way under:

	lib/*
	usr.bin/*

The makefiles in the above hierarchy will "reach over" into
the GNU sources (src/gnu/dist) for everything they need.


Maintenance Strategy:

The sources under src/gnu/dist are generally a combination of
some published distribution plus changes that we submit to the
maintainers and that are not yet published by them.  There are
a few files that are never expected to be submitted to the FSF,
(i.e. BSD-style makefiles and such) and those generally should
stay in src/gnu/lib or src/gnu/usr.bin (the BSD build areas).

Make sure all changes made to the GNU sources are submitted to
the appropriate maintainer, but only after coordinating with the
NetBSD maintainers by sending your proposed submission to the
<tech-toolchain@NetBSD.org> mailing list.  Only send the changes
to the third-party maintainers after consensus has been reached.
