The Package of the Month award goes (jointly) to: 
+ pkgsrc/devel/monotone, nominated by Julio M.  Merino Vidal - monotone

is a distributed version control system, which Julio liked for "its

ability to work completely offline and the use of cryptography to mark

concrete versions as trusted or not.  Aside from this, it is written

in C++, uses SQLite to store the data (and changes) in a database, and

its functionality can be configured through simple Lua hooks." and
+ pkgsrc/net/ntop, nominated by myself - ntop is an excellent utility

for showing network traffic via a network browser (not included) to

show network traffic information and get a dump of the network status.

I was quite overwhelmed by it, and am prepared to overlook its

recognition of NetBSD machines as either Windows or Mac OS X machines

because of the excellent overview ntop provides.
Please note that we have removed the old, insecure, kde2 and suse 6.4

packages.
My thanks to Julio also for his package alternatives framework which

was added to pkgsrc this month, and my thanks to all the pkgsrc

developers for their hard work.
