AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
To allow ports to work with the iconv implementation in 10-CURRENT after commit r254273 the USES=iconv options now conditionally adds a dependency depending on the FreeBSD version. It also defines a few utility variables which can be used in the ports:
ICONV_CMD: location of the iconv binary.
after r254273: /usr/bin/iconv
before: ${LOCALBASE}/bin/iconv
ICONV_LIB: ld(1) flags to get the iconv DSO.
after r254273: empty
before: -liconv
ICONV_CONFIGURE_ARG: String that can be passed to configure
scripts to hint the location of the libiconv library.
after r254273: empty
before: --with-libiconv-prefix=${LOCALBASE}

* Two new USES macros to handle mime data of ports.
USES= desktop-file-utils
Handles MimeType in .desktop files that are installed in
share/applications.
USES= shared-mime-info
For supporting mime xml files installed in
share/mime/packages.
The desktop-file-utils USES is only needed if the .desktop files
installed by the port has a MimeType field.
USE_GNOME=desktopfileutils is deprecated.
The shared-mime-info USES handles mime types xml files.
Please note that only the packages/${NAME}.xml file should be listed in
the plist. The shared-mime-info port will clean up the share/mime/*
directories and generated files.
Both USES have there own post-install and code that adds @exec/@unexec
lines to the pkg-plist. This means that when a port switches to the
USES macro, the related post-install command and @exec/@unexec
lines can be removed from the prot.

* The Perl-related code parts have been extracted from bsd.port.mk to
bsd.perl.mk. This includes the user-settable knobs (e.g. USE_PERL5)
and infrastructure parts of the code, like default targets. The new
code is designed to be conditionally included based on either
USE_PERL5_*, PERL_CONFIGURE, or PERL_MODBUILD being set. However,
some of the default settings remain in bsd.port.mk while we make
sure that all ports comply with this.
* A convenient version handling has been implemented for Perl-related
knobs. With this new feature one can require a minimal, a maximal or an
exact version, that the given port needs. For the full description and
some examples, please see the documentation in bsd.perl.mk.

extracted from bsd.port.mk into bsd.commands.mk, so that we can
reuse them within the infrastructure later.
* The old DESTDIR implementation was removed both from the infrastructure,

be used.
* A new DESTDIR implementation has been added, implemented in bsd.destdir.mk.
The new implementation puts no requirements on the individual ports.

FOO/bar.
* If M_S_SUBDIR is unset, a macro in M_S won't set it anymore, but rather
substitute %SUBDIR% all by itself. Now it's possible to use macros with
different default subdirs and they will expand in a proper way.

The following functional changes were made to bsd.sites.mk:
* MASTER_SITES variable can now contain special macros which are expanded into
traditional URL[:group] syntax and cause some convenient effects, e.g. set a
default M_S_SUBDIR.
* A macro is any space-delimited word in MASTER_SITES without a forward slash.
* If MASTER_SITE_<macro> is defined, then the macro is expanded to its value.
* Abbreviated macros are provided for extremely popular locations, e.g. CPAN
and SF. To avoid further obfuscation their unabbreviated equivalents should
be avoided.
* Popular macros can trigger M_S_SUBDIR to default to a predefined value, e.g.
${PORTNAME:L} for SF and ${PORTNAME:C/-.*//} for CPAN.
* Abbreviations and M_S_SUBDIR defaults are defined by MASTER_SITES_ABBREVS
and MASTER_SITES_SUBDIRS, both set in bsd.sites.mk.
* If a macro belongs to a group (e.g. SF:source1), all the sites it expands
into also belong to the same group.
* Macros and traditional URL's can be mixed safely, their order stays intact.

Note, that the three variables are still overridable with a hack, so this
2006-08-04 12:36:30 +00:00
change doesn't affect POLA, but necessary for DESTDIR support.
* OSVERSION is now determined from the userland, not from the kernel.
Cross-compiling between releases is still not supported, but this
2006-08-04 13:17:59 +00:00
behavior is more correct for jails with differing userland from
the kernel version.

* Add some sanity check for PREFIX and DESTDIR. This can be skipped by
defining IGNORE_PATH_CHECKS, but very discouraged.
* Deinstalling from DESTDIR, determining if a port is already installed in
DESTDIR, etc. are implemented by chrooting those specific commands.
* Text changes to reflect that we are installing to DESTDIR, removing from

AUTHOR: portmgr@FreeBSD.org
The following functional changes were made to bsd.port.mk:
* Change all bogus uses of BROKEN to IGNORE. (Note: the BROKEN_WITH_*
forms are retained for compatibility but deprecated.) Internally,
these variables all had already set IGNORE, not BROKEN, so they
were really misnomers.
* Fix USE_LDCONFIG with non-default PREFIX.
* Fix DESKTOP_ENTRIES processing on 4.x.
* Add 'make missing' to show missing dependencies.
* Add bsd.scons.mk and bsd.wx.mk.

The patch in ports/95841 to get rid of remnants of FORCE_PKG_REGISTER
was backed out because it broke kdelibs3*.

The following functional changes were made to bsd.port.mk:
* Update default MySQL version from 4.1 to 5.0 [1]
* Update default PHP version from 4 to 5 [2]
* Update default LDAP version from 2.2 to 2.3 [3]
* Add support for LDAP version 2.4 [4]
* Update default linux_base from '8' (Redhat 8) to 'fc4' (Fedora Core 4) [5]
2007-06-19 05:56:21 +00:00
* Switch default Linux X implementation from XFree86 to X.org to track the
2006-06-19 00:10:03 +00:00
above [5]
* Deprecate INSTALLS_SHLIB and replace it by USE_LDCONFIG. If set to "yes",
the old behavior is preserved. Otherwise, it can be set to a list of
directories to be added to ${PREFIX}/libdata/ldconfig/${UNIQUENAME}.
Note that this directory is used by ldconfig startup script, it is meant
to replace ldconfig scripts installed by some ports as (sometimes
000.${UNQUENAME}.sh) [6]
2006-05-23 22:27:21 +00:00
2006-06-19 00:10:03 +00:00
* Adds USE_LDCONFIG32 which is like USE_LDCONFIG but the target file is
${PREFIX}/libdata/ldconfig32/${UNIQUENAME} instead. (Note: this should
only be used on 64-bit architectures) [6]
* Set the default LANG for tr to be C to avoid some build problems [7]
* Include bsd.java.mk in both pre and post sections [8]
* Get rid of remnants of FORCE_PKG_REGISTER [9]
* Always print options with make showconfig [10]

The following functional changes were made to bsd.port.mk:
* include bsd.emacs.mk only when USE_EMACS is set [5]
* Correct the implementation of pretty-print-run-depends-list [8]
* Use a consistent name for the cookies file when PKGNAMEPREFIX/SUFFIX
are set after bsd.port.pre.mk. [9]
* Include bsd.tcl.mk if USE_TCL_BUILD is defined [10]
* Set PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT in BATCH mode [11]
* Add the {ONLY,NOT}_FOR_ARCH_REASON and
{ONLY,NOT}_FOR_ARCH_REASON_${ARCH} variables to allow better
customization of the error string reported to users when they
attempt a build on an unsupported architecture. [12]
* Avoid errors from duplicated targets when parsing MLINKS on ports
without a default value set. [13]
* Fix handling of MLINKS when invalid entries are listed [14]
* Enforce sanity of DESKTOP_ENTRIES. If the Categories field is
omitted, try to map ports categories to their freedesktop.org
counterpart [15]

AUTHOR: gnome@FreeBSD.org
GNOME has been upgraded from 2.10.2 to 2.12.1. This update brings with
it many important porting changes:
- gtk20's pkg-config file no longer contains the X11 pango modules.
Therefore, if your port requires these modules, you may have to
manually patch them in to your port's Makefiles. Contact
gnome@FreeBSD.org if you have questions on this.
- A new USE_GNOME component, ltverhack, has been added. This
pseudo-component hacks libtool so that shared library versions are
more consistent with other operating systems. Using this component
can prevent unnecessary shared library version changes.
- A new macro, INSTALLS_ICONS, has been added. If your port installs
Freedesktop-style icons to ${LOCALBASE}/share/icons or
${X11BASE}/share/icons, then you should use this macro. NOTE:
use of this macro requires your port to set either USE_GNOME or
WANT_GNOME.
Mega-patch to cleanup the ports infrastructure regarding our linux bits:
- USE_LINUX now implies NO_FILTER_SHLIBS=yes. It also doesn't use FreeBSD
tools to strip binaries anymore, so it's not neccesary anymore to override
STRIP and STRIP_CMD.
- USE_LINUX_PREFIX implies NO_MTREE now.
- In the USE_LINUX case, USE_XLIB now depends upon the linux X11 libraries
instead upon the native FreeBSD libraries.
- The variable LINUX_BASE_PORT contains a string which is suitable as an
item in *_DEPENDS, so if a port BATCH_DEPENDS or FETCH_DEPENDS upon the
default (or overriden) linux base, ${LINUX_BASE_PORT} should be used
instead of a hardcoded reference.
- Change all ports to comply to the "new world order".
- The Ports Collection now allows to override the default linux_base port.
Specify e.g. OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh-9 in /etc/make.conf to use
${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-rh-9 (the logic is to use
${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-${OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT}).
- If USE_LINUX or OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE doesn't point to an existing linux_base
port and if USE_LINUX isn't set to "yes" (case insensitive), the port will
be marked as IGNORE. [1]
- Readd USE_LINUX knobs into several ports and make several uses of a
conditional dependency ("USE_LINUX?=") into an unconditional one
("USE_LINUX=") which where removed/changed by Trevor to allow the use of
alternative linux_base ports. While this is a nice goal, the implementation
resulted in missing dependencies. The OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT knob
in this commit is supposed to fix the problem while keeping the feature.
Basicaly this includes a backout of Trevor's commit, to prevent confusion
I mention it here explicitely.
- Use the correct prefix (X11- instead of LOCAL- or LINUX-) for some ports.
Chase dependencies for this.
- Changes to make linux_devtools installable on amd64, remove some stray
device nodes (they don't work on recent OS versions and aren't really
needed).
- Make linux_base-8 PREFIX clean and remove some stray device nodes.
Additionally tell a little bit more about how to setup NIS/YP [2].
- Update the PGSQL dependency in the linux-opengroupware port to a recent
version (the old one isn't available anymore), I don't know if this
works (at least it isn't more broken than before).
- Use PREFIX/usr/share/doc instead of PREFIX/usr/doc in the divx4linux
ports, the former path exists already and gets populated by other
packages too (PREFIX=LINUXPREFIX!).
- Fix some obvious (non-linuxolator) bugs in some linux ports while being
there.
- Bump PORTREVISION where neccesary.

STRIP and STRIP_CMD.
- USE_LINUX_PREFIX implies NO_MTREE now.
2006-01-27 13:17:11 +00:00
- In the USE_LINUX case, USE_XLIB now depends upon the Linux X11 libraries
Mega-patch to cleanup the ports infrastructure regarding our linux bits:
- USE_LINUX now implies NO_FILTER_SHLIBS=yes. It also doesn't use FreeBSD
tools to strip binaries anymore, so it's not neccesary anymore to override
STRIP and STRIP_CMD.
- USE_LINUX_PREFIX implies NO_MTREE now.
- In the USE_LINUX case, USE_XLIB now depends upon the linux X11 libraries
instead upon the native FreeBSD libraries.
- The variable LINUX_BASE_PORT contains a string which is suitable as an
item in *_DEPENDS, so if a port BATCH_DEPENDS or FETCH_DEPENDS upon the
default (or overriden) linux base, ${LINUX_BASE_PORT} should be used
instead of a hardcoded reference.
- Change all ports to comply to the "new world order".
- The Ports Collection now allows to override the default linux_base port.
Specify e.g. OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh-9 in /etc/make.conf to use
${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-rh-9 (the logic is to use
${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-${OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT}).
- If USE_LINUX or OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE doesn't point to an existing linux_base
port and if USE_LINUX isn't set to "yes" (case insensitive), the port will
be marked as IGNORE. [1]
- Readd USE_LINUX knobs into several ports and make several uses of a
conditional dependency ("USE_LINUX?=") into an unconditional one
("USE_LINUX=") which where removed/changed by Trevor to allow the use of
alternative linux_base ports. While this is a nice goal, the implementation
resulted in missing dependencies. The OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT knob
in this commit is supposed to fix the problem while keeping the feature.
Basicaly this includes a backout of Trevor's commit, to prevent confusion
I mention it here explicitely.
- Use the correct prefix (X11- instead of LOCAL- or LINUX-) for some ports.
Chase dependencies for this.
- Changes to make linux_devtools installable on amd64, remove some stray
device nodes (they don't work on recent OS versions and aren't really
needed).
- Make linux_base-8 PREFIX clean and remove some stray device nodes.
Additionally tell a little bit more about how to setup NIS/YP [2].
- Update the PGSQL dependency in the linux-opengroupware port to a recent
version (the old one isn't available anymore), I don't know if this
works (at least it isn't more broken than before).
- Use PREFIX/usr/share/doc instead of PREFIX/usr/doc in the divx4linux
ports, the former path exists already and gets populated by other
packages too (PREFIX=LINUXPREFIX!).
- Fix some obvious (non-linuxolator) bugs in some linux ports while being
there.
- Bump PORTREVISION where neccesary.

The CVSup port has been upgraded with a patch to correct the
handling of the "refuse" file for files that are in the CVS Attic.
This solves a problem some people were having, where CVSup would
delete their ports/INDEX* files even though the files were listed
in the "refuse" file. The bug fix is in the cvsupd server, so
mirror sites must upgrade their servers in order for this fix to
help. Meanwhile, adding "ports/Attic/INDEX*" to the refuse file
serves as a work-around.

Py-gnome2 lost many of its GNOME dependencies to a new port,

Say hello to the linux mega patch, it consolidates our linux bits a
little bit and allows to proceed to a more recent linux_base from
a stable (read as: the major bugs should be ironed out or identified
and most linux ports build just fine) source.
It also allows to ship 4.11 with a working linuxolator (the EOLed
linux_base is marked forbidden because of a security hole).
This is a major update, please read UPDATING (and CHANGES if you
develop linux ports).
Changes:
- change the default linux_base from v7 to v8
- add a newer freetype to linux_base-8 for nicer fonts display [1]
- don't let cpio use hardlinks in the linux_base-8 port to quiet some
warnings in some cases [2]
- fix a cut&past error in the linux_base-8 pkg-install script [3]
- convert the binary knob "USE_LINUX" to a version specifier, e.g.
USE_LINUX=<value> specifies a dependency upon
emulators/linux_base-<value>, exceptions are a value of "7" (which
does what you want and adds a dependency to linux_base) and any
value without a corresponding port in
PORTSDIR/emulators/linux_base-<value> (which adds a dependency to
the default linux_base)
- don't implicitly add USE_LINUX with the USE_LINUX_PREFIX knob,
this allows us to use the USE_LINUX_PREFIX knob for linux_base and
paves the way for splitting up future linux base ports into
individual pieces
- remove RESTRICTED from some GPL licensed ports, even when we only
distribute binaries, we get them from official linux sites, so
anyone can grab them there if he needs to
- add a dependency upon the linux X11 bits where necessary (based upon
guesswork)
- don't use USE_X_PREFIX in some linux ports since it adds a dependency
to the FreeBSD X11 libs, as a workaround use PREFIX?= (the clean
solution would be to remove the implicit USE_XLIB from USE_X_PREFIX)
- bump the portrevision of the linux ports ("better safe than sorry"
algorithm)
- pass maintainership of the important linux infrastructure to a
mailinglist, hijack freebsd-emulation@ for this purpose (if somebody
doesn't like this: tell us your bikeshed color at freebsd-emulation@,
my color would be "linuxolator@" in case someone cares...)
- add a pkg-install script for linux-fontconfig, but don't use it;
everything should work without it (the FreeBSD fc-cache program should
do all the work), but in case we need it we just need to decomment the
pkg-install part in the Makefile
- fix some dependencies
- fix some bugs
- add some static plists
- unbreak the ports with dependecies to more than one linux_base
This also fixes some ports which are marked BROKEN because of dependencies
to v7 and v8 of linux_base at the same time.
Known bugs:
- the linux-mesa and linux-devtools ports install libGL*.so symlinks
- some "minor" plist bugs (e.g. ld.so.{conf,cache} are modified by
the linux X11 port, so linx_Base-8 moans at deinstall time)
Future work (interested souls should coordinate with freebsd-emulation@):
- add some kind of USE_LINUX_X11 knob to streamline the X11 dependencies,
or modify the behavior of USE_XLIB in the USE_LINUX case
AFAIK trevor has some patches.
- make USE_XLIB and USE_X_PREFIX orthogonal to be able to get rid of
the PREFIX?= workaround in some linux ports
Should be discussed/coordinated on/with x11@.
- move the RPM bits from x11-toolkits/linux-gtk/Makefile to PORTSDIR/Mk/
- update to a more recent linux base

There has been a big update to PHP ports and bsd.php.mk to add more
flexibility and new features.
Now a port may depend on a specific set of PHP extensions. To do so,
simply replace:
USE_PHP= yes
with:
USE_PHP= ext1 ext2 ext3 ...
in the port Makefile. A list of all PHP extensions is included in bsd.php.mk.
2004-07-19 22:14:53 +00:00
If the requirement is a build dependency too, the port should also define:
2004-07-19 09:34:42 +00:00
USE_PHP_BUILD=yes
Moreover, the new knob WANT_PHP_SCR has been added to indicate that the port
requires the 'php' binary to run.
2004-07-19 22:14:53 +00:00
Last but not least, many common operations to build/install/register a
PHP extension can now be omitted from the port Makefile if it defines:
2004-07-19 09:34:42 +00:00
USE_PHPEXT= yes
2004-07-19 22:14:53 +00:00

USE_LIBTOOL_VER now configures a port to use the ports version of libtool
instead of its included version. This was put in place to reduce the
number of ad hoc patches to individual ports' libtools to prevent .la
file installation as well as fix various threading problems.
To restore the previous libtool behavior, use the new macro,
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER. It works the exact same way as USE_LIBTOOL_VER
in that it takes a libtool version as its argument.
For example, to use the included version of libtool with extra hacks
provided by libtool-1.5, add the following to your Makefile:
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
To use the ports version of libtool-1.5, add the following to
your Makefile:
USE_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
Note: these macros are mutually exclusive. Your port should only include
one or the other if it needs to make use of libtool.

From the PR:
Besides the good old key and name variables, this patch adds
support for path, info, maint, cat, bdeps, and rdeps, which match
on the appropriate fields, plus their exclusion counterparts: xkey,
xname, etc.
Examples:
Find all ports whose names contain "pear-" but not "html" or "http":
make search name=pear- xname='ht(tp|ml)'
2004-07-05 20:47:32 +00:00
2004-06-10 07:38:42 +00:00
Find ports whose names contain "pear-" and which don't have apache
listed in build-time dependencies:
make search name=pear- xbdeps=apache
The positive variables (name, key, maint, etc) are AND-ed, their
negative versions are OR-ed; in other words, matching any x-
variable will cause the port to be skipped, mismatch on any non-x-
variable will cause it to be skipped.
Examples:
2007-09-20 09:29:24 +00:00
Find ports that are both in the 'www' category and maintained by
2004-06-10 07:38:42 +00:00
Thierry Thomas:
make search maint=thierry@ path=/www/
2007-09-20 09:29:24 +00:00
Find ports in the 'archivers' category that are either not orphaned
2004-06-10 07:38:42 +00:00
or don't have "zip" in their names (contrived):
make search cat=archivers xmaint=ports@freebsd xname=zip
It is possible to select fields to display.
Example:
Find PEAR ports that don't build-depend on apache, displaying only
Port:, Path:, and Info: lines:
make search name=pear- xbdeps=apache display=name,path,info
Case-sensitivity can now be turned of with icase=1.
Example:
Find ports with @freebsd.org maintainer addresses without the
"proper" capitalization (@FreeBSD.org), display their paths and
maintainer addresses:
make search maint=@freebsd\\.org icase=0 display=maint,path
The key and xkey variables can be limited in scope to displayed fields
by setting keylim to 1.
Example:
Find ports that contain "apache" in either of the name, path, info
fields, ignore the rest of the record (dependencies, maintainer
address, etc):
make search key=apache display=name,path,info keylim=1
The following variables can be set e.g. in /etc/make.conf to
2006-01-27 13:17:11 +00:00
control default search behavior:
2004-06-10 07:38:42 +00:00
PORTSEARCH_DISPLAY_FIELDS?=name,path,info,maint,index,bdeps,rdeps
PORTSEARCH_KEYLIM?=0
PORTSEARCH_XKEYLIM?=0
PORTSEARCH_IGNORECASE?=1
* Extend USE_PERL5_BUILD and USE_PERL5 to add EXTRACT and PATCH
dependencies
* While building index, treat non-existent dependencies as fatal.
Previously the error was being hidden by the stderr
redirection.
* Don't always retry BROKEN ports when package building (it is taking
too much time to continually rebuild ports that are usually going
to really be broken). Set TRYBROKEN if you want to attempt a
build of a BROKEN port.

Over the past few weeks, we have been testing the next
incarnation of ports/Mk/bsd.autotools.mk on the road to bringing
at least some semblance of sanity back to this corner of the
ports collection.
By far and away the easiest way to see the changes will be to
view the new file once committed, but here is a summary of the
changes:
1. USE_LIBTOOL, USE_AUTOCONF, USE_AUTOHEADER, USE_AUTOMAKE have
been fully deprecated. Ports attempting to use these variables
after the commit will error out, and most obviously break INDEX
generation, with a helpful error message. Instead, ports must
now specifically choose the version of any of these tools that
they need with the corresponding USE_*_VER variables. Note that
these variables understand any and all versions of autotools ports
in the tree, there is no longer a need to have specific version
numbers hardcoded in the infrastructure of bsd.autotools.mk
(as there is now). In particular, this will immediately open up
automake18 and autoconf259 for general use and beating.
2. Similarly for WANT_LIBTOOL, WANT_AUTOCONF, and WANT_AUTOMAKE.
Again, these have been fully deprecated, and the equivalent
WANT_*_VER versions should be used.
In order to preserve existing behavior for these variables, please
note the 20040314 entry in ports/CHANGES for the appropriate
version numbers to use for any ports in the GNATS queue.
Both WANT_* and USE_* bring in the relevant tool as a build
dependency, and set up a reasonably large number of variables
pointing to the right programs to be using in the port. The
only difference at the moment, is that USE_* will run an extra
autotools-related configuration step, whereas WANT_* merely
requests the environment.
3. The helper knob USE_LIBLTDL has been added which currently
simply adds a LIB dependency on the libltdl port.
4. Three new variables have been introduced,
WANT_{LIBTOOL,AUTOCONF,AUTOMAKE}_RUN=yes. These variables will
do nothing by themselves (a Work-In-Progress), but if the
appropriate autotool version is defined (either through
WANT_*_VER or USE_*_VER), this will add the relevant dependency
to RUN_DEPENDS.
Steps 3 and 4 now essentially negate the need for any kind of
direct dependency within a non-autotools port Makefile on
devel/autoconf*, devel/automake*, devel/libtool*, and devel/libltdl.

There has been a couple of bsd.java.mk tweaks and fixes.
. Features from Stage 2 has been removed. A port can no
longer use the JDK dependency features by setting JAVA_HOME.
Use JAVA_PREFERRED_PORT instead (see below).
. The default JDK port now depends on OS version:
java/diablo-jdk13 for 4.x, and java/jdk14 for 5.x
. It is now possible for the user (and the porters) to
define a list of preferred JDK ports to build and run ports.
The port will use the first JDK port from the list that
matches the requirements specified in the Makefile.
JAVA_PREFERRED_PORT contains a list of suitable JDK ports
(sorted by preference). Names for JDKs may be found in
bsd.java.mk, listed in ${_JAVA_PORTS_ALL} (e.g.
"JAVA_PORT_NATIVE_BSDJAVA_1_4").
. JAVA_PORT_VERSION is now set to the full version number
of the chosen JDK (e.g. "1.4.2"). Porters will find hints
regarding how to obtain the same behavior as before in the
header of bsd.java.mk.

When writing a port that uses GTK+ 2.X, you can now list the dependency
with "USE_GNOME=gtk20" which is preferable to LIB_DEPENDS because the
GTK+ library version only needs to be changed in bsd.gnome.mk.

The glib20 and gtk20 ports were updated to 2.4.0. This new version
is completely source and binary compatible with the previous 2.2.x
series. However, certain API calls have been deprecated. If your
port defines the following macros, they may refuse to build with
the new versions of glib20 and gtk20:
GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
GDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
2004-04-09 03:12:04 +00:00
G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
2004-04-09 03:05:43 +00:00
The temporary solution is to either patch your port's Makefiles to,
or use an in-place regular expression to remove these macros. The
more permanent solution is to wait until the port's authors update
their code to use current API calls.

There has been a big update to bsd.java.mk. However, this update
is mostly backwards compatible, so it shouldn't affect most java
port maintainers. There is some new functionality and minor
changes worth documenting here though.
bsd.java.mk now provides a new set of macros to be used by ports that
require a JDK. When USE_JAVA is set, the following variables may be set
in order to give to precision regarding the requirements of the port:
. JAVA_VERSION
A list of space-separated suitable java versions for the
port. An optional "+" allows you to specify a range of versions.
(allowed values: 1.1[+] 1.2[+] 1.3[+] 1.4[+])
(NOTE: Used to be set by bsd.java.mk)
. JAVA_OS
A list of space-separated suitable JDK port operating systems
for the port. (allowed values: native linux)
(NOTE: Used to be set by bsd.java.mk)
. JAVA_VENDOR
A list of space-separated suitable JDK port vendors for
the port. (allowed values: freebsd bsdjava sun ibm blackdown)
(NOTE: Used to be set by bsd.java.mk)
. JAVA_BUILD
When set, it means that the selected JDK port should be
added to build dependencies for the port.
. JAVA_RUN
This variable works exactly the same as JAVA_BUILD but
regarding run dependencies.
Here are some of the macros defined after setting USE_JAVA:
. JAVA_PORT
The name of the JDK port (e.g. java/jdk14)
. JAVA_HOME
The home of the JDK port in the local base
. JAVA_PORT_VERSION
The version of the JDK port.
(NOTE: Used to be JAVA_VERSION, see above)
. JAVA_PORT_OS
The operating system used by the JDK port.
(NOTE: Used to be JAVA_OS, see above)
. JAVA_PORT_VENDOR
The vendor of the JDK port.
(NOTE: Used to be JAVA_VENDOR, see above)
Plus many macros for the commonly used java executables:
APPLETVIEWER, JAR, JAVA, JAVAC, JAVADOC, JAVAH,
JAVAP, JAVA_KEYTOOL, JAVA_N2A, JAVA_POLICYTOOL,
JAVA_SERIALVER, RMIC, RMID and RMIREGISTRY.
bsd.java.mk 2.0 is mostly backward compatible with the previous
version, save for the notes above and changed internal variables.
Using the new features is strongly encouraged, since the old
bsd.java.mk 1.0 features will be deprecated and may be removed in
the future.

The print/freetype2 port has been updated to 2.1.7. This update
changes some of the internal FreeType API. Applications may need
to be patched to support this new API. If a source files includes
freetype/freetype.h, make sure ft2build.h is included before
freetype/freetype.h. The proper way to do this is:
#include <ft2build.h>
#include FT_FREETYPE_H
However, the following will work as well, but is deprecated:
#include <ft2build.h>
#include <freetype/freetype.h>

USE_LIBTOOL, USE_AUTOCONF, and USE_AUTOMAKE are now considered
deprecated, and will be removed on or around June 1st 2004.
All ports should now choose the specific version of the tool,
using USE_LIBTOOL_VER, USE_AUTOCONF_VER, and USE_AUTOMAKE_VER.
The old "system default" behavior can be written as follows:
Old New
USE_LIBTOOL=yes USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
USE_AUTOCONF=yes USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
USE_AUTOMAKE=yes USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14

ten official sourceforge.net download mirrors, whereas
MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE only has five. To check if your

corresponding to the variables above.

Mozilla will now default to using GTK2, and will only compile
against Gtk+-1.2 if explicitly requested. This is in exact
2006-01-27 13:17:11 +00:00
opposite to the old behavior.
2004-02-18 04:02:44 +00:00
The valid values of WITH_MOZILLA are now:
mozilla (www/mozilla, GTK2)
mozilla-devel (www/mozilla-devel, GTK2)
mozilla-gtk1 (www/mozilla-gtk1, GTK1)
mozilla-devel-gtk1 (www/mozilla-devel-gtk1, GTK1)
2004-04-03 16:28:33 +00:00
2004-02-18 04:02:44 +00:00
As before, WITH_MOZILLA can be set in /etc/make.conf, but doing
so is not advised unless you desire the development versions.
GTK2 browsers will automatically compile against GTK2 mozilla,
and GTK1 browsers (galeon1, galeon1, and galeon1) will
automatically compile against GTK1.
Again, the only people who will need to take action are those
who desire development versions (which are inactive at this time
anyway). Those who want GTK1 mozilla-devel must set
WITH_MOZILLA=mozilla-devel-gtk1 or they will be pleasantly
surprised with their very own GTK2 installation on the next
update.
WITH_MOZILLA=mozilla-gtk2 and WITH_MOZILLA=mozilla-devel-gtk2
2006-01-27 13:17:11 +00:00
are still honored for the time being, but their use is
2004-02-18 04:02:44 +00:00
now deprecated. Any new ports are not required to consider
their values, and so eventually WITH_MOZILLA _will_ have to
be changed.
Hopefully galeon2 can catch up to peoples' expectations from
galeon1 soon, and we can remove the GTK1 ports altogether.

The bsd.php.mk file has been moved out of the lang/php4 port
into the Mk directory. This will make it much easier to include
PHP support in PHP-dependent ports. Instead of including
bsd.php.mk directly, a port can simply set USE_PHP=yes, and the
ports system with Do the Right Thing.
All trailing whitespace has been removed from bsd.port.mk.
Enhance the new OPTIONS code by only including saved options if
the port defines OPTIONS, attempt to use LATEST_LINK as the
unique name for a port (fall back to ${PKGNAMEPREFIX}${PORTNAME}
otherwise), bring the ===> messages in line with the existing
ones by using PKGNAME instead of PORTNAME, use PKGNAME in the
dialog, use ECHO_CMD instead of ECHO_MSG to write the
OPTIONSFILE, display a message during compilation indicating
that user-specified options have been found, and make the output
of the showconfig target a little more user-friendly.
A new USE_ICONV macro has been added that takes the place of an
explicit LIB_DEPENDS on converters/libiconv. This will help
with future shared lib version bumps.
A new USE_GETTEXT macro has been added that takes the place of
an explicit LIB_DEPENDS on devel/gettext. This will help with
future shared lib version bumps.
Module::Build is a system for building, testing, and installing
Perl modules. It will eventually replace the obsoleted
ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Many new Perl modules have already
switched to using Build.PL instead of Makefile.PL. To
facilitate building those modules, a new PERL_MODBUILD macro has
been added. Use that in place of PERL_CONFIGURE when porting
Perl modules that make use of the Module::Build framework.
Certain ports want to check for the availability of SDL
libraries before including them. This change adds a new
WANT_SDL macro similar to WANT_GNOME. By setting this, the
porter indicates that her port can optional use SDL if present
on the system. WANT_SDL should be defined _before_
bsd.port.pre.mk is included. After including bsd.port.pre.mk,
the list of available SDL components will be returned in the
HAVE_SDL macro. For details on how to process this component
list, refer to bsd.sdl.mk.
The OpenBSD and NetBSD projects diverged from the FreeBSD ports
tree years ago, and it no longer make sense to include obsolete
references to incorrect paths in the FreeBSD ports system. This
change removes the NetBSD and OpenBSD PORTSDIR compatibility
bits from bsd.port.mk.
The comment for PKGDIR read, ``A direction containing any
package creating file.'' The word ``direction'' should be
``directory.'' This has been fixed.
A new DIRNAME macro has been added that points to
/usr/bin/dirname. All direct use of dirname in ports can be
switched to this macro.
Direct use of commands dirname, id, and rm have been corrected
to use their macro equivalents instead. Some useless ${HEAD}
-n 1 statements have been removed. A strange comment in the
do-install target and an out of place ``fi'' have been fixed as
well.
On 5-CURRENT after the 5.2-RELEASE split, the default Perl
version has been updated from 5.6.1 to 5.8.2. As well, some
Perl definitions in bsd.port.mk have been moved to their correct
locations which corrects the PERL_LEVEL definition.
The following optimizations have been added to the ports system
to speed up recursive operations such as make describe, make
index, make ignorelist, etc. bsd.gnome.mk is now only included
if a port defines USE_GNOME, WANT_GNOME, and/or USE_GTK. More
variables are cached and passed down through bsd.port.subdir.mk.
Perl is no longer invoked when a simple ``echo'' will do. More
subshell variable assignments have been hidden behind
2006-01-27 13:17:11 +00:00
conditionals so that the commands are not spawned every time.
2004-02-04 06:38:31 +00:00
Finally, dependency lists are only constructed if ports actually
declare dependencies. These optimizations give make index
approximately a 43% speedup.
If CPUFLAGS is not defined (this _CPUCFLAGS is empty), trying
to remove _CPUCFLAGS from CFLAGS will result in an error. This
change fixes that.
On recent versions of 5.X, /etc/rc.subr exists, and there is no
reason to install another copy in ${LOCALBASE}/etc. The reason
this was ever done was to workaround some build issues on bento.
However, testing OSVERSION seems to work in spite of those build
issues.
The ports system now supports MySQL 3.23, 4.0, 4.1, and 5.0.
Also, the ability to scale to newer versions was also but in
place.
An .endif comment indicated that the .if block checked
WANT_MYSQL when, in fact, it was checking WANT_MYSQL_VER. This
has been corrected.
The PTHREAD{CFLAGS,LIBS} macros have been made overridable on
all versions of FreeBSD to allow for alternate threading
implementations (e.g. -lc_r, -lthr, -mt, etc.). The default
threading library has been changed to -lpthread from -lc_r on
-CURRENT.
The new SIZE support broke distfiles fetching on FreeBSD < 4.8.
On those versions of FreeBSD, the SIZE distfile attribute is now
ignored. Also, defining DISABLE_SIZE in, for example,
/etc/make.conf, will ignore the SIZE attribute on all versions
of FreeBSD. This is useful with alternate values for FETCH_CMD.
A new vulnerabilities database has been added to the ports
system in order to keep more accurate, up-to-date, track of
security vulnerabilities. The ports system now knows how to
query that database and dynamically prevents the installation
of vulnerable ports.
In order to allow for more rapid development of the package
tools, the ports system will prefer to use pkg_* tools found in
${LOCALBASE} over those in the base system. However, all PKG_*
macros are still overridable.
A new physical category, net-mgmt, has been created to house
network management ports.
The /var/db/port.mkversion file never really took off, and is
now very obsolete. Replace the code used to generate and check
this file with a simple OSVERSION check. The ports system now
requires FreeBSD 4.3 or higher.
The last round of bsd.*.mk changes broke ports that had
duplicate distinfo entries (e.g. linux_base). This is now
fixed. Along with this fix, only distfiles with a bad checksum
will be refetched, where as distfiles missing from distinfo will
not be refetched.
The PLIST_{DIRS,FILES} macros were passed to the final package
list unchanged by PLIST_SUB. This is not always desirable.
Now, those macros are passed through PLIST_SUB.
The previous OPTIONS code assumed users would be running port
build as root. If this was not the case, OPTIONS configuration
would fail. Now, the bits of the config and rmconfig targets
that require write access to system directories are run under
SU_CMD.
The makesum target will now add a SIZE attribute for each
distfile by default. This can be overridden by defining NO_SIZE
in a port's Makefile. Note: this could probably be expanded to
omit SIZE attributes for specific distfiles in the future.
