i'm curious why we have files with spaces in on the release to begin with. where do those come from?

looks fine from the pkgbase side.

use strdup() instead of __DECONST

in pkgbase, we use " (debugging symbols)" for this. i think this change is fine to make the manifests consistent, but i wonder if it's worth changing everything to use the same term. (but with freebsd.org dist set builds going away in 16, this might not matter.)

I don't believe this is a bug in pkg(8). I reviewed a very long log file (with -dddd) and confirmed that library dependencies are not used during the scheduling stage.
i landed this a couple of weeks ago, it just didn't get auto-closed.

i was trying to avoid adding extra allocations for this group of patches, but i suppose this is not a performance-critical code path, so i'll switch it to use strdup if we think that's neater (i tend to agree, since __DECONST is at least a code smell).

i've asked dlg@openbsd.org about upstreaming this.
i think this should be upstreamed, but i'm not sure who's in charge of this -- @emaste?
this should be upstreamed. @ziaee how do you prefer to handle that?
this probably needs to be upstreamed - i'd like to land it in src to fix the build error in the mean time, though.
this breaks buildworld for me, i believe due to the changes in bsd.incs.mk:
we don't want to add manual dependencies on library packages; these are supposed to be handled automatically by pkg. if that's not working properly, it's a bug in pkg(8) and should be fixed there.

i can try backporting this to 15.0 (or maybe 15.1) and running it on a couple of BIRD routers here to see how that goes. that will take a few days though.

Relnotes: yes (although i doubt many people are using this, i do think we should highlight package moves like this).
seems to work fine with a basic pkgbase build, and i don't see any code changes that would cause issues.

this might be a good time to move this to the FreeBSD-efi-tools package. it's probably a bug/oversight that it isn't already there.
