Many bugfixes and cosmetic changes
Changes by Scrappy and me
My additional changes:
- had to link libpgtcl.so with the crypt library to get rid of the
pgaccess error message, that crypt is missing
- had to add -i option in the startup script, so that pgaccess is
able to connect to the postmaster process
- removed all unnecessary patches
- updated PLIST
Thanks to the postgresql developement team, who did a great job to
simplify the postgresql port, by applying the patches and making
the autoconf mechanism more consistent.

Now, I know you tested it (who doesn't? :), Andreas, but you need to
test it *twice* with a "make deinstall" in between, or you may not
catch files that were left from the previous installation (as it was
in this case).
the bug-gnats mailing list. There are a ton of bugfixes and
some good new features (like user defined states).
I should have used the makefile's patch code to deal with this,
but the patches had differning formats and there were order dependancies,
so I built these patch ffiles by hand.

Subject: Bug in PgAccess 0.7x , fixed in 0.73 !
Hello all,
recently Dave Chapeskie has discovered a bug in visual query builder,
when deleting table or links! This was due to last changed in source
code made in order to allow table aliasing.
All previously released 0.7x versions of PgAccess are buggy from this
point of view!
I have released today the 0.73 version that fixes it! Please use the new
versions and keep me informed !!!
This new version is also using a drop-down-like combo for choosing
tables in visual query builder! I will probably use it in other places
in order to enhance PgAccess.
Thanks again for testing PgAccess.
from the author:
"I started to write at the Reports module.
from a table, no filters, no sorts (yet) !
Of course, no prints ! Only fields in output report (no labels, lines or
rectangles)!
I am working now at region resizing (page header, footer, detail, etc)
Reports will be generated as Postscript file!
stay close ..."
Update to version 0.70
From his announcement:
> PgAccess v0.70 handles now user defined forms and scripts!
>
> Manipulating forms, PgAccess could be enhanced by the user in order to
> generate new applications.
> The powerfull scripting feature inherited from Tcl/Tk, the native
> environment of PgAccess, allow users to define and use new procedures,
> libraries and even call "system" procedures that I have been used
> writting PgAccess. I would say that PgAccess will be able to accept
> "plugin" modules in order to make him more powerfull. It will make him
> just a "shell" who will set up only a "working environment" for newly
> developed applications!!!!

- author was so nice to add a version number in the source file, hurray.
- "dynamically" patch the path to libpgtcl.so ${PREFIX}/pgsql/lib/libpgtcl.so|
depending on the PREFIX variable using new post-configure script
- tested building, installing, packaging
number. HELP, need LOCAL_PORT ! Who with proper permissions could
please do a make fetch and place this tar archive under
LOCAL_PORT/pgaccess-0.52.tar.gz ? Thanks.
background because of the -S option.
- remove the -D datadir option, it's meaningless, because the pgsql
user environment overwrites it with the PGDATA env variable.
Since this is important and might cause some headache, I mentioned
this in ~pgsql/.profile and the startup script.

- in order to access the template1 database as pgsql user, the
environment needs the DISPLAY variable set to at least ":0"
- pgaccess loads dynamically the libpgtcl.1, some symbols from
another dynamic lib are needed as well -> libpq.so.1.0
Makefile (patch-af) modified (copied from the Linux clause),
so that shared lib libpgtcl is created with proper loader flags.
for building the tcl/tk based database frontend pgaccess.
For an updated version of this tool a separate port will
follow. Please test these changes well, so that we get a
nice PostgreSQL 6.2 version up and running "b4" port freeze ;-)
Please note: when performing a migration to 6.2 and you have an existing db,
then you have to use the *new* pg_dumpall script that comes with this new
postgresql release. The INSTALL file points this out explicitely !!!
Changes:
- startup script resides in FILESDIR
- renamed it to be in sync with INSTALL file from sources
- always install this startup script over an existing, because
of the nature of the rc.d directory I can't install it
to pgsql.sh-dist, if a pgsql.sh is already presend ...
- portlint detected trailing whitespace, usage of perl with absolute
path, usage of echo instead of ECHO and plenty things of this kind
- post installation notes updated, mentioned the mailing list
- copies the html pages as well to the share/doc directory (new manual dir)
- had to update PLIST
- shortened DESCR file, to match the 24 lines
- added post build target, that reminds the admin how to proceed when
already having a database -> INSTALL file describes migration
- updated manpages
XmySQL is a front end to the MySQL database engine. It allows for
simple queries and table maintenance, as well as batch queries.
XmySQL has been compiled and tested on Linux 2.0.0 with MySQL 3.20.16
and Xforms version 0.86.
formerly just called "grok", is a simple database manager
and UI builder that can:
* keep phone and address lists (like a rolodex)
* store phone call logs
* keep todo lists
* manage any other database after simple GUI-driven customization
* customized data export, HTML export built in
Warning: the directory structure has shifted again (lib/gnats -> libexec/gnats)
Also, I am now compiling and configuring gnats with "with release based"
which adds additional functionality and is backwards compatible, but adds
new PR fields you may not expect to see.
- msql-beta is now dead. Now that v2.0 release is out, it has been folded into ports/databases/msql.
- p5-DBD-mSQL is dead. It has been rolled into p5-Msql
- The version number of p5-Msql has moved from 1.1702 to 0.91. This new version numbering scheme is related to the "Msql-modules" distfile on CPAN, whereas the old version numbering scheme was based on the "MsqlPerl" distfile (which is no longer available)
Change startup script in ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d to directly run the daemon instead of using the old kludgey run_daemon wrapper.
Fix up two mistakes in the PLIST
In-Conjunction-With: Satoshi's patch to bsd.port.mk
(note: unlike the last change in perl5 versions, I have only upgraded p5-* ports, not other ports that rely upon perl5.)
- Added missing ldconfig -m in startup file
- Modified pgsql user environment
- Make port NOPORTDOCS aware
- Add additional port docs to post-install target and updated PLIST
- recursively change owner of pgsql directory after creating .profile,
so that .profile can be modified by the pgsql user.
Hope everything is fine now.
Clean up newly imported PostgreSQL port:
- variable reorganization and cleanup
- remove NOMANCOMPRESS conditional in favour of MAN?=
- prevent import of installing user's $PATH into ${PREFIX}/pgsql/.profile
- change package name to remove 'v'
- remove some of the latent bugs left over from the postgres95 port.
to boot.
Have updated the Master Sites listing to reflect where the current port
actually resides, as well as added a few of the mirrors. Will work on
bringing the port up to date as I figure out how ports work :(
This should at least allow this port to be compiled using v1.08 now
PLISTs.
Note: I know that this is going to break some symlinks and/or .so
includes, I will back some of these out as I run into these during
package building.
all the COMMENTs! No package names, no version numbers, no "this is
absolutix-3.1.2" type comments that have zero information contents.
Now, without any bad examples to follow, nobody has an excuse to import
a port with those kind of comments. :)
Phew! 238 ports modified!
Create rc.d-style local startup script
Fix omissions in pkg/PLIST
Remove erroneous PREFIX in Makefile (and modify PLIST to match)
Remove IS_INTERACTIVE (assume installation will run as root)
Use union diffs instead of context diffs.
