The .tix.tar.xz binary package format now stores the contents in the root
rather than the data/ subdirectory and the tix metadata now has the same
layout as the loose files in /tix, such that a .tix.tar.xz package can
simply be directly extracted into the filesystem. The /tix/manifest/ is now
included in the binary package rather than being generated on installation.
The /tix/collection.conf and /tix/tixinfo metadata files are now in the
tix-vars(1) format in the style of port(5).
The /tix/installed.list file has been removed since it isn't loose file
compatible and one can list the /tix/tixinfo directory instead.
The /tix/repository.list file has been removed since the feature is unused
and doesn't match the future direction of tix.
The kernel support for tix binary packages has been removed since it will
simply install by extracting the tar archive into the root filesystem.
Add the post-install sha256sum to the port version stamp.
This change imports the ports collection from the former porttix and srctix
repositories and converts them to port(5) files with metadata pointing to
the upstream release tarballs with patches checked into this repository.
Ports are now developed and versioned along with the operating system and
are automatically built per the PACKAGES environment variable. The patches
are licensed under the same license as the relevant ports.
Tix has gained support for the new port(5) format. tix-port(8) is the new
high level ports build even point that handles downloading pstream releases
into the new mirror cache directory, applying the patches, building the port
with the lower-level tix-build(8), and finally installing the binary
package. The new tix-vars(8) program parses port(5) files and the new
tix-rmdiff(8) program produces input for tix-rmpatch(8).
The old doc/ directory is discontinued in favor of manual pages documenting
the new ports system.
The obsolete porttix-create(8) and srctix-create(8) programs are removed.
I hereby relicense all my work on Sortix under the ISC license as below.

are not substantial enough to be copyrightable, or have been removed.
All imported code from other projects is compatible with this license.
All GPL licensed code from other projects had previously been removed.

This removes the ability to override standard shell utilities using
environment variables. The standard names are invoked unconditionally and
can be overridden using the standard approach of adding replacements to the
PATH. Additionally environment variables like PREFIX and HOST are no longer
honored as defaults for the --prefix and --host options. These features are
removed because they've never been used and cause more trouble than they
are worth.
The tix collection option now defaults to the root directory to simplify
common invocations. The tix-build prefix also now defaults to the empty
prefix.
Support installing multiple packages at once with tix-install.
Tighten file and directory creation modes while here.
Add --generation for forward compatibility.
Silence tix-collection creation.
Fix uninitialized getline invocations.
Fix porttix-create buffer overflow.
